Figure 3. NbSerk3 silenced N. benthamiana shows enhanced susceptibility to P. infestans infection.

Figure 3

N. benthamiana plants were silenced using tobacco rattle virus vectors harbouring an empty cloning site (TRV::GFP) or a partial NbSerk3 sequence (TRV::NbSerk3, [7], see also Fig. S1). Nineteen days later, leaves were detached and spore droplet inoculated within the dotted lines with P. infestans 88069 (A) or 88069td (B). Pictures were taken 6 dpi (A) and 3 dpi (B). Infection stages of at least 5 independent plants of each silencing construct were scored 4 dpi (C).
