Figure 1. B. cinerea dcl1 dcl2 double mutant, but not the dcl1 or dcl2 single mutant, displays reduced virulence on fruits, vegetables, and flower petals.

Figure 1

(a) B. cinerea dcl1 dcl2 double mutant shows compromised virulence on fruits (tomato, strawberry, and grape), vegetables (lettuce and onion), and flower petals (rose), while B. cinerea dcl1 and dcl2 single mutants showed similar virulence as the WT strain. (b) Relative lesion sizes of the infected plant samples were measured 3 days post inoculation (dpi) for lettuce, onion, and strawberry and 5 dpi for tomato, grape, and rose petal using ImageJ, and error bars indicate the standard deviations (SD) of 10 samples. (c) B. cinerea relative DNA content (relative biomass) was measured by quantitative PCR. Error bars indicate the SD of three technical replicates. Asterisks indicate statistically significant differences (P < 0.01). Similar results were obtained from at least three biological replicates.
