^* Estimated mean disease values determined using mixed model analysis for flowers and new siliques.

^† Represents the disease comparison between the Arabidopsis mutant genotype and the wild‐type.

A P‐value < 0.05 is considered to be statistically significant. ‡Total number of plants inoculated per Arabidopsis genotype.

^§ Number of experiments in which the Arabidopsis mutant genotype was tested against the wild‐type.

^¶ Degrees of freedom for the flowers = 40 and for the new siliques = 34.

^** Not applicable.

^†† ††Not significant.
