Mutants with insertions in unique coexpressed genes exhibit enhanced disease symptoms to a range of pathogens with diverse lifestyles. (A) Representative macroscopic phenotypes of Col-0 and selected insertion lines 10 d after inoculation with G. orontii. (B) Quantitative analysis of host cell entry of E. pisi on selected lines determined at 3 d after inoculation. Results represent mean ± SD of at least five leaves per genotype. (C) Quantification of disease symptoms 6 days after inoculation with B. cinerea (Materials and Methods). Results represent mean ± SD of three independent samples per genotype. Comparable results were obtained in at least three independent experiments. For all data, asterisks indicate a significant difference from Col-0 (*P ≤ 0.05; **P ≤ 0.01; Student's t test).
