Expression of RNA silencing suppressors in N. benthamiana enhances infection by P. infestans. (a) Disease symptoms (top) and lesions visualized using trypan blue staining (bottom) on N. benthamiana leaves expressing Phytophthora or viral effectors and then inoculated with zoospores of P. infestans strain 1306. Empty vector pEG100 (EV) was used as a negative control. Pictures were taken 6 d after P. infestans inoculation. (b) Sizes of lesions caused by P. infestans infection on leaves expressing Phytophthora or viral effectors. (c) Numbers of newly formed P. infestans sporangia on leaves expressing Phytophthora or viral effectors. Error bars in b and c, s.e.m.; different letters indicate values that are statistically different (P < 0.01). These experiments were repeated three times with similar results.
