Responses of WRKY7-overexpressing plants to P. syringae. A, Bacterial growth. Wild-type (Wt), npr1-3, eds8, and transgenic WRKY7-overexpressing plants in either the wild-type or eds8 background were inoculated with PstDC3000 (OD₆₀₀ = 0.001). Samples were taken 3 dpi to determine the bacterial titers. The means and ses were calculated from six plants for each treatment. B, Disease symptom development. Wild-type (Wt), npr1-3, eds8, and transgenic WRKY7-overexpressing plants in either the wild-type or eds8 background were inoculated with PstDC3000 (OD₆₀₀ = 0.001). Pictures of representative inoculated leaves were taken 3 dpi. The experiments were repeated twice with similar results.
