Transient overexpression of selected RXLR effector genes enhances P. infestans colonization. (A) Average lesion diameters of the inoculated leaves. Error bars represent standard errors calculated from at least 30 independent biological replicates. Asterisks indicate significant differences determined using Dunnett’s test (P < 0.005), (B) N. benthamiana leaf phenotypes upon P. infestans infection. Detached leaves of GFP- and RXLR effector-transgenic plants were inoculated with P. infestans zoospores. These representative photographs were taken at 120 hpi.
