Expression of VqSTS19 in Arabidopsis increases susceptibility to PstDC3000 infection. (A) Representatives of three transgenic and nontransgenic lines 3d following PstDC3000 inoculation; (B) bacterial numbers per square centimeter on leaves of transgenic and nontransgenic lines at 3 dpi, bars represent the mean ± SD from three independent experiments (n = 12), asterisks indicate statistically significant difference (Student’s t test, ** p < 0.01) between transgenic lines and nontransgenic control plants; (C) dead cells and active oxygen production in infected transgenic and nontransgenic lines at 3 dpi using trypan blue (a), DAB (b) and NBT (c) staining, respectively, the experiment was repeated 3 times, with each samples comprising 10 leaves. Scale bars = 10 mm.
