CORONATINE‐INSENSITIVE 1 (COI1)‐dependent susceptibility is independent of salicylic acid (SA). Wilt symptoms at 20 days post‐infection (dpi). (a) Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. conglutinans (FOC)‐infected offspring of the dihybrid COI1/coi1 SALICYLIC ACID INDUCTION‐DEFICIENT 2 (SID2)/sid2 were COI1/COI1 (CC), COI1/coi1 (Cc) or coi1/coi1 (cc) and SID2/SID2 (SS), SID2/sid2 (Ss) or sid2/sid2 (ss). Top graph: mean radius of rosettes of n plants in millimetres. Error bars are the confidence intervals of the means (α = 0.05). Means with the same italicized letter (above) have no significant difference, according to Student's t‐test (P > 0.01). Bottom graph of (a), and (b) and (c): fraction of n plants that were resistant (health index, HI > 3) or susceptible (HI < 2) or had intermediate resistance (2 ≤ HI ≤ 3). No symptoms were apparent in mock‐infected plants (not shown). (b) Wild‐type (SID2) and sid2 were infected with F. oxysporum f. sp. raphani (FOR). (c) FOR‐infected offspring of the monohybrid double mutant sid2 COI1/coi1 were COI1/COI1 (CC), COI1/coi1 (Cc) or coi1/coi1 (cc). Similar HI scores, according to Mann–Whitney U‐test (P > 0.01), have the same italicized letter above.
