Fig 4. Infection assay of pathogenic pathway glycoprotein candidates.

Deletions and infections were first carried out in the CL13 strain (A). Deletions showing a statistically significant reduction in virulence were then assayed in SG200 (B) and subsequently in FB1 and FB2 compatible strains (C). Total number of plants infected is indicated above each column. The indicated number of plants for wild-type infections is the sum of all wild-type infected plants in each mutant virulence assay (see S2 Fig for infection experiments listing single deletions with their own corresponding wild-type dataset). The Mann-Whitney statistical test was performed for each mutant versus the corresponding wild-type strain (ns: not statistically significant; * for p-value < 0.05; ** for p-value < 0.01; *** for p-value < 0.005; **** for p-value < 0.0001). (D) Representative ΔUMAG_10156 disease symptoms compared to wild-type.
