TAO1 activation correlates with defense gene expression in both Mt-0 and Col-0. Five-week-old plants were sprayed with 20 μM Dex to induce expression of AvrB-HA. (A) Mt-0 and tao1–2. (B) Col-0(rpm1–3) and rpm1–3 tao1–10. (Top) Photograph was taken 5 days after DEX treatment. (Middle) Western blot showing PR-1 protein levels. (Bottom) Western blot analysis showing AvrB-HA protein levels. Equivalent amounts of total proteins were loaded in all lanes (data not shown). The experiment is representative of three independent replicates.
