Pathogen assays of Arabidopsis Col-0 with the necrotrophic fungus Botrytis cinerea (Bc). (A) Arabidopsis Col-0 was challenged with the fungus 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 48 h of inoculation with Bc. (D) The lesion area at 48 h post-infection (t-test, **P < 0.01, n = 48 leaves per treatment). (E) Quantification of Bc growth at 48 h post-infection estimated by relative transcript levels of BcActin and AtActin using qRT-PCR (t-test, **P < 0.01, n = 5 plants per treatment).
