Figure 6.
Resistance of the transgenic Arabidopsis against a fungal pathogen, B. cinerea. Seven-week-old Arabidopsis plants were inoculated with the virulent pathogen B. cinerea. Conidial spores (1 × 105 per ml) suspended in potato dextrose broth were sprayed on plants until droplets ran off. Inoculated plants were grown further for 3 days. Left, wild-type Arabidopsis; right, transgenic Arabidopsis (line 1) constitutively expressing JMT gene. Degree of resistance of other transgenic lines (2 through 5) to the fungal infection was similar to that of line 1 plants.
