Detection of cell death on Solanum pinnatisectum and Solanum cardiophyllum triggered by 10 cloned notable Avr genes and Avr-R gene pairs of Phytophthora infestans. Avrvnt1/Rpi-vnt1 and Avr3aKI/R3a were used as positive, buffer or empty vector (EV) was used as the negative control. Photographs were taken 3–4 days after agroinfiltration (a) Cell death on the leaflet of S. pinnatisectum caused by Avrsmira2, Avr4, Avr3b, Avr3aKI, Avr2, and Avr1. (b) Agroinfiltration sites with the matching Avr gene or Avr-R gene pair on each pinnately compound leaf. (c) Cell death on leaves of the susceptible cultivar S. cardiophyllum triggered by Avrsmira1, Avrblb2, and Avrvnt1.
