LRE is not required for plant immunity. (A) Four-week-old plants were infected with G. cichoracearum and representative leaves were photographed at 7 dpi. Leaves were stained with Trypan blue to show fungal structures and dead cells. (Scale bars, 0.25 cm for white; 100 μm for black.) (B) Quantitative analysis of conidiophore formation at 5 dpi. The bars represent means and SD of three independent experiments (n = 25). Lowercase letters represent significant differences (P < 0.05, nested ANOVA). (C) Growth of H. arabidopsidis Noco2 on the Col-0 and lre-3 plants. Infections were scored at 7 dpi. Error bars represent SD of three independent experiments (n = 4). (D) Infection assays with Pto DC3000. The plants were spray-inoculated with Pto DC3000 at 10⁸ cfu/mL. Bacterial growth was assessed at 4 d after inoculation. Error bars represent SD of three independent experiments (n = 4). Asterisk indicates significantly different from Col-0 using Student’s t test (P < 0.01).
