pldγ1-1 mutants are more resistant to B. cinerea infection. Leaves of 6-week-old plants were inoculated with 5 × 106/mL B. cinerea spores. A, After 2 d, symptom development was documented and one representative leaf per line is shown. B, Lesion sizes were determined with a pixel-based approach and then calculated using a 1-cm2 standard. Box plots show the minimum, first quartile, median, third quartile, and a maximum (n ≥ 12). Lowercase letters indicate homogenous groups according to post hoc comparisons following one-way ANOVA (Tukey-Kramer multiple comparison analysis at a probability level of P < 0.05). The experiment was performed three times with similar results. WT, Wild type.
