Phenotypes of cad‐C, cad‐D, cad‐G, cad‐B2, cad‐1, cad‐B1, eds‐1, pad‐4 single mutants, cad‐C/cad‐D double mutant and the wild‐type ecotypes Ws and La‐er, after inoculation with Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato (Pst). Growth of Pst DC3000 (A) and Pst DC3000/avrPphB (B) in wild‐type and mutant plants, determined at 0 days (white bars) and 3 days (black bars) post‐inoculation with a bacterial suspension of 105 cfu/mL. The mean bacterial densities were calculated from 9–12 replicates and are representative of two independent experiments. According to analysis of variance (anova) test, means of colony‐forming units (cfu) do not differ significantly if they are indicated by the same lowercase letter. (C) Representative mutant and wild‐type leaves 3 days after inoculation with a suspension of the bacterial strain indicated at a density of 107 cfu/mL.
