Figure 3.

Enhanced accumulation of nonhost pathogen P. syringae pv. tomato T1 on dip inoculated NbRPL12 and NbRPL19 gene silenced N. benthamiana leaves. NbRPL12 and NbRPL19 silenced (as described for Figure 1) and control (TRV2::GFP) leaves were dip inoculated with P. syringae pv. tomato T1 (OD₆₀₀ = 0.01 for 5 min). The bacterial population was quantified at 3 and 5 days post inoculation (DPI). Data was obtained from three biological replicates and the error bars represent standard deviation. Different letters above the bars indicate a significant difference from Two-way ANOVA at p < 0.05 with Tukey's HSD means separation test (α = 0.05) among different time points of each gene silenced plant. See Supplementary Table S2 for details about statistics.
