Time course of CPN1 transcript accumulation after bacterial
inoculation. A, RNA gel-blot analysis of the time course of CPN1 transcript accumulation after inoculation with avirulent P. s. t. DC3000 (avrRpt2) bacteria. Leaves of 5-week-old WT plants were
syringe inoculated with 1 × 105 cfu
mL–1 of P. s. t. DC3000
(avrRpt2) bacteria, and RNA samples were extracted from inoculated
leaves at 0, 2, 4, 6, 9, 12, 24, 36, 48, and 72 h postinoculation.
PR1, Same blot reprobed with a PR1 gene-specific probe.
Mock, RNA samples from leaves inoculated with 10 mm MgCl2 at 0 and 24 h postinoculation. rRNA, 28S rRNA stained with
methylene blue to show relative amounts of RNA in each lane. B, RNA gel-blot
analysis of the time course of CPN1 transcript accumulation after
inoculation with virulent P. s. t. DC3000 bacteria. This experiment
was performed in a manner identical to that described in A.
