Deletion analysis of PITG_22798. Deletion mutants of PITG_22798 were transiently expressed in N. benthamiana by agroinfiltration. A schematic view of the different mutants and deletion constructs are shown on the left panel. Symptoms of infiltration sites are shown on the right panel. Plus (+) and minus (−) signs indicate the presence or absence, respectively, of cell death symptoms. The assays were repeated at least three times with similar results. Photograph of symptoms were taken at 6 dpi. SP, signal peptide. LFLR, an RxLR-like motif. NLS, nuclear localization signal sequence.
