a-e) histochemical analysis of 8 day-after-inoculation (dai) Arabidopsis DR5::GUS reporter plantlets. A strong induction of β-glucuronidase activity (blue staining) is appreciable in all treated samples (c-e) and in the IAA-treated seedlings (IAA 50 nM, b) compared to non-inoculated seedlings (a). f) 4MU-fluorimetric assay on total protein extract of 8-dai Arabidopsis seedlings highlighted a strong induction of β-glucuronidase activity both in the whole IAA and GL83 treated-plantlets. Data were normalized on non-treated seedlings (CTRL) and reported as percentage of the CTRL. Statistically significant at *, P< 0.01.
