BOI is a suppressor of toxin- and disease-associated cell death but not HR cell death. Electrolyte leakage in BOI RNAi and 35S:BOI plants was induced by treatment or inoculation with Pst DC3000 (avrRpm1; A), Pst DC3000 (avrRpt2; B), Pst DC3000 (C), and PA (D). Plants were inoculated with a bacterial suspension (optical density at 600 nm of 0.01) or infiltrated with PA toxin (1 mg mL⁻¹), and electrolyte leakage was measured as described (Dhawan et al., 2009). Experiments were repeated at least three times. i-4 and i-6 represent BOI RNAi lines 4 and 6, respectively. Wt, Wild type. [See online article for color version of this figure.]
