Figure 7. ObTLP1-expressing Arabidopsis plants are tolerant to B. cinerea infection.

Figure 7

(A) Leaves of four-week-old ObTLP1-expressing transgenic lines (TH1 and TH2) and vector control plants were inoculated with equal amount of spore suspension of B. cinerea as described in Methods. Disease assessment was carried out at different time intervals and photographs were taken. (B) Lesion size was measured at different time intervals in infected leaves. Data are mean ±  s.d. from sixteen (vector control) or eight (ObTLP1-expressing lines) plants. (C) Fungal biomass in infected leaves was quantified by qPCR. Relative level of B. cinerea Actin genomic DNA was determined using Arabidopsis chloroplast-encoded ribulose-1,5-bis-phosphate carboxylase/oxygenase large subunit as reference gene. Data are mean ±  s.d. from three biological replicates. Asterisks indicate statistically significant difference at **P <  0.01 using two-tailed Student’s t-test.
