Enhanced disease resistance of transgenic tobacco plants that constitutively overexpressed BWMK1. A, Disease responses to the virulent oomycete pathogen, P. parasitica var nicotianae, at 7 d after inoculation. B, In planta bacterial growth. Pst was inoculated into leaves of mature wild-type plants (WT) and two independent transgenic plant lines (4-11 and 6-2) at 105 colony-forming units (cfu) mL–1, and in planta bacterial growth was monitored over 5 d. Values represent average and sds of cfu extracted from leaf discs in three independent samplings.
