Induction of T3SS by OA accelerates disease progress on tobacco. 6-week-old tobacco plants were inoculated with R. solanacearum treated with DMSO or 100 μM of OA by pouring a bacterial suspension onto a pot containing an unwounded plant. Symptoms were rated daily using a disease index scale of 0–4 (0, no symptoms appeared; 1, 1–25% of leaves wilted; 2, 26–50% of leaves wilted; 3, 51–75% of leaves wilted; 4, 76–100% of leaves wilted). Each point represents the average disease index of 16 plants. The OA treatment was significantly different from the DMSO treatment (P < 0.05; repeated-measures ANOVA). Similar results were observed in other two independent experiments.
