Effects of the transgenic expression of a NtMLO1 mutant sequence, resulting in the substitution of a glutamine residue with arginine in the protein second intracellular loop (Q198R). a The phenotype of a plant of the tomato loss-of-function Slmlo1 line (right) and transgenic individuals from two different T2 families (left and centre) assessed for transgene overexpression. b The relative quantification of the ratio between Oidium neolycopersici and plant gDNAs in transgenic individuals of the same T2 families assessed for the presence or absence of the overexpression construct [T2(+)_Q198R and T2(−)_Q198R, respectively] and in the tomato Slmlo1 mutant line. Bars and standard errors refer to 11 and 7 transgenic individuals for NtMLO1_Q198R-a and b, respectively, and 10 Slmlo1 plants
