Leaf area (% of control plants of each genotype) of WT, eto1-1, etr1-1, and ein2-1 plants in response to V. paradoxus 5C-2 inoculation. WT plants were harvested at 29 DAP, while eto1-1, etr1-1 and ein2-1 were harvested at the corresponding development stage. Values are mean ± SE. Data of control, etr1-1 and ein2-1 were from two or three independent experiments and data for eto1-1 from one representative experiment; 25–30 replicates were used for each experiment. Different letters above bars indicate significant differences (P < 0.05; Tukey test). P-values are shown for two-way ANOVA for bacterial treatment inoculation, genotype, and their interaction.
