PFT1 Is an F. oxysporum Susceptibility Gene.

(A) Typical disease symptoms and plant death observed on wild-type (Col-0) and pft1 mutants 2 weeks after inoculations of the roots of 3- to 4-week-old plants.

(B) The number of leaves showing chlorosis and necrosis 10 d after inoculations and expressed as the percentage of total number of leaves.

(C) Percentages of plant death 2 weeks after the inoculation of roots with F. oxysporum.

(D) Typical disease phenotypes of wild-type (Col-0), pft1, OX1 (35S:PFT1), and G1 (the pft1 mutant complemented with a genomic PFT1) plants at 12 d after F. oxysporum inoculation.

(E) Average percentage of disease severity measured in the same lines shown in (D). Error bars represent se from three replicated experiments that contained 20 to 30 plants each.
