The mapkkk5 mutant displays enhanced susceptibility to P. syringae. Four-week-old plants were inoculated with P. syringae Pto DC3000 (A), Pto DC3000 avrRpt2 (B), and Pto DC3000 avrPphB (C). Plants were inoculated with bacterial suspensions at OD600 = 5 × 10−4. Bacterial growth was monitored at 0 and 3 dpi. Data represent mean ± sd. Different lower-case letters indicate statistically significant differences (n = 9; P < 0.05; one-way ANOVA). cfu, colony-forming units; WT, wild type.
