|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Control | PeBL1 | Control | PeBL1 | |||
| 2 | 14.33 ± 4.15 | 9.61 ± 3.22 | 32.94 A | 1.22 ± 0.12 | 0.86 ± 0.13 | 29.51 B |

a
The data are representative of three replicates, with nine plants for each replicate. The values are means ± standard deviations.
b
Inhibition of either the number or the diameter of lesions (i.e., reduction of the PeBL1 value relative to the control value). Values followed by the same letter in the same column are not statistically different at a 5% significance level.
