Figure 8. RXLR29 enhances bacterial growth in Arabidopsis leaves.
Five-week-old Col-0 leaves were hand-infiltrated with 5×105 cfu/ml Pst DC3000-LUX delivering YFP, ATR13 or RXLR29, as indicated. Bacterial growth in leaves at 0 and 3 dpi was measured by number of colony forming units (cfu) per mg of leaf tissue. Error bars indicate the standard error of bacterial counts. Enhanced growth was observed at day 3 for Pst delivering ATR13 or RXLR29 compared to YFP (T-test p value <0.0005).
