Ha18764 suppress cell death triggered by other candidate Heterodera avenae effectors in Nicotiana benthamiana. Nicotiana benthamiana leaves were infiltrated with buffer or Agrobacterium tumefaciens cells carrying Ha18764 or the negative control, either alone or 24 h prior to infiltration with A. tumefaciens cells carrying the elicitors. Photographs of infiltrated leaves were taken ca. 4 days after the last infiltration. Four circles marked with Roman numerals represented regions injected with different A. tumefaciens, which is indicated under the photographs. The numbers in parentheses are the proportion of infiltrated sites showing cell-death-suppressing symptoms. Results for the verification of gene expression by Western blotting are shown below. The original Western blotting images for the verification of gene expression were provided in Supplementary Figures S5, S6.
