FIGURE 10.

Pathogen assays of Arabidopsis Col-0 with the necrotrophic bacterium Pectobacterium carotovorum ssp. Carotovorum (Pcc). (A) Arabidopsis Col-0 was challenged with the bacterium after having been exposed to a mock or 2.0 mM 3BN treatment for 24 h. (B) Representative pictures of plants exposed to a mock or 2.0 mM 3BN treatment for 24 h before pathogen inoculation. (C) Representative pictures of rosette leaves showing lesions post 16 h of inoculation with Pcc. (D) The lesion area at 16 h post-infection (t-test, ***P < 0.001, n = 32 leaves per treatment, with four batch data). (E) The bacterial population estimated by CFU at 16 h post-infection (t-test, ***P < 0.001, n = 32 leaves per treatment, with three batch data).
