Figure 5. R3a and R3a* variants expressed from Agrobacterium reduce the spread of a P. infestans strain expressing AVR3a^KI, but not the spread of a strain expressing only AVR3a^EM.

(a) Means of lesion diameters measured 12 days after drop inoculation of agro-infiltrated areas with strain 7804.b (KI/KI). (b) Means of lesion diameters measured 8 days after drop inoculation of agro-infiltrated areas with strain 88069 (EM/EM). (a) and (b) show representative experiments from sets of three and five repeated experiments, respectively. For both (a) and (b), error bars show +/− standard errors, N = 30. EVC indicates empty vector control.
