Ectopic overexpression of StLRPK1 in N. benthamiana enhances late blight resistance. (A) Representative image of P. infestans lesions at 6 dpi on leaves of wild-type control N. benthamiana and two transgenic homozygous lines ectopically overexpressing StLRPK1. The lower photographs were taken under UV light. P. infestans isolate 88069 sporangia were used to inoculate leaves. (B, C) Mean P. infestans lesion diameter (B) and mean lesion percentage (C) on control and transgenic N. benthamiana leaves, measured at 6 dpi (three replicates, 30 leaves per replicate). Values labeled with different letters are statistically different by one-way ANOVA using pairwise multiple comparison procedures with the Holm–Sidak method (P<0.01). Error bars represent ±SD.
