sad9 Mutants Have Enhanced Disease Susceptibility.

Seedlings were inoculated with the take-all fungus (G. graminis var tritici strain T2) and scored for disease symptoms 3 weeks later as described by Papadopoulou et al. (1999). Dark-brown/black lesions on the roots (arrowed) are typical symptoms of infection. The wild type (WT) (A), sad1 mutant #610 (B), sad7 mutant #616 (C), and sad9 mutant #1475 (D). Images are representative of six to 10 biological replicates across two independent experiments. Bars = 0.25 cm.
