SALK_040835 is highly susceptible to F. oxysporum. Wild-type (WT) and SALK_040835 were inoculated with F. oxysporum and disease symptoms monitored over 21 d. (A) Representative images of WT and SALK_040835 plants 10 dpi or control treatment. (B) Necrotic leaves per plant at 10 d and (C) survival rates at 21 d post-inoculation. Values are averages ±SE (n=30). Asterisks indicate values that are significantly different (**, P<0.01; Student’s t-test) from WT. Similar results were obtained in independent experiments. (D) F. oxysporum culture filtrate was applied to detached WT and SALK_040835 leaves. Representative leaves are shown from three replicates 6 d post-treatment. Control treatments of potato dextrose broth (PDB) and H₂O showed no phenotype (not shown). Similar results were obtained in an independent experiment.
