The TalF (Tal5) or TalC EBE edited lines do not exhibit measurable resistance against Malian Xoo strains. Barplot of mean lesion length measured on Kitaake wild type, sweet14-32 or sweet14-15 homozygous individuals for the edited alleles of the OsSWEET14 promoter TalC and TalF (Tal5) EBE, respectively. Leaves of 6-week-old plants were inoculated using the leaf-clipping method. Lesion length was measured 2 weeks after inoculation. Error bars represent standard deviation calculated from 3 to 4 replicate measurements. The ‘BAI3ΔC’ strain corresponds to the BAI3 talC- knockout derivative. For each strain, Welch two sample t-tests were performed to test if average lesion length in wild-type Kitaake plants is superior to lesion length in one of the two mutant sweet14 lines. Significant comparisons with p-value ≤ 0.05 are highlighted in the plot with an asterisk. This experiment was repeated four times with similar results.
