Transgenerational priming effect. (A) Lesion size and (B) colony forming units (CFU) in F1 common bean plants 10 days after infection with PspNPS3121. Data are mean ± SEM from three independent experiments. (C) Plant height 13 days after infection (30 dag). Data are mean ± SEM from 24 independent (n = 24) plants per treatment, from two independent experiments. (D) Number of seeds produced in F1 plants from the different treatments (Re/Ps, Re/H₂O, Re/-; -/Ps, and -/-). Data are mean ± SD from six independent plants (n = 6) per experiment, from three independent experiments. Statistical significance was determined using one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s multiple comparison test, p < 0.05. Means with the same letter are not significantly different.
