Figure 4. Tomato SlDMR1 is a S-gene for the tomato powdery mildew Oidium neolycopersici.

Figure 4

(A), relative transcript abundance of SlDMR1 in multiple independent cuttings of untransformed Moneymaker (MM) plants or T1 transformants harbouring an RNAi::SlDMR1 construct (Line2, 3 and 5). (B), Quantification of fungal growth at 8 days post inoculation (dpi). SlDMR1 silenced plants support significantly less fungal growth compared to untransformed plants. (C), Leaves of an untransformed MM and SlDMR1 silenced plant at 8 dpi. Silencing of SlDMR1 results in reduced leaf size and yellowish colour. For A and B. Data indicate the mean of 3 or more biological replicates with error bars representing the standard error. Number of asterisks indicate degree of significance (***p<0.001).
