Transgenic tobacco plants overexpressing CaLRR51 show increased resistance to Ralstonia solanacearum infection. (A) Disease symptoms of 8‐week‐old transgenic tobacco lines (CaLRR51‐OX‐5 and CaLRR51‐OX‐6) and the wild‐type (WT) line at 7 days after root inoculation with the highly virulent R. solanacearum strain FJC100301. (B) Bacterial growth (colony‐forming units, cfu) in the third leaves of WT and transgenic tobacco plants at 36 h after leaf inoculation with R. solanacearum. Data are the means ± standard deviation of three independent experiments. Asterisks indicate statistically significant differences compared with the WT controls by the least‐significant difference (LSD) test (**P < 0.01). (C) Increased H2O2 accumulation and hypersensitive response (HR)‐like cell death in CaLRR51‐OX‐5 transgenic tobacco leaves compared with WT leaves inoculated with R. solanacearum at 24 h post‐inoculation. DAB, diaminobenzidine.
