Fig. 3. Effect of miR482b overexpression and silencing on the resistance of transgenic tomato to P. infestans.

Fig. 3

a, b Quantitative real-time PCR analysis of the abundance of miR482b in WT, overexpressing (a) and silencing (b) tomato lines. c Detached-leaf inoculated with P. infestans showing disease signs (scale bars = 0.5 cm). Top: disease symptoms; middle: leaves were photographed in UV-light; bottom: trypan Blue staining for detection of dead cells. d The relative lesion diameter. e Whole-plant assay of P. infestans-infected tomato plants showing disease index of WT, overexpressing and silencing tomato lines. f Transcript accumulation of P. infestans Actin gene in these inoculated plants. g MDA content of the leaves from WT, and overexpressing and silencing tomato lines at 5 days after inoculation with P. infestans. Data are the means ± SEs from three independent experiments. Letters indicate significant difference among samples, and letters shared in common between or among the groups indicate no significant difference (P < 0.05)
