FIGURE 7.
Response of Arabidopsis RPL10A‐interacting ribosomal protein‐encoding gene mutants to host and nonhost pathogens. Four‐week‐old Arabidopsis mutants Atrrm, Atrpl23, and Atrpl30 were flood inoculated with nonhost pathogens Pseudomonas syringae pv. tabaci, P. syringae pv. tomato T1, and host pathogen P. syringae pv. tomato DC3000 at 105 cfu/ml concentration. (a) Leaves of host and nonhost pathogen inoculated Arabidopsis mutants and wild‐type (Col‐0) were detached 3 days postinoculation (dpi) and photographs were taken. (b)–(d) Bacterial accumulation at 3 and 5 dpi was measured from leaves that were floodinoculated with P. syringae pv. tomato DC3000 or P. syringae pv. tabaci or P. syringae pv. tomato T1. Bars represent the average of three biological replicates in three independent experiments. Error bars represent the standard error. Different letters above the bars indicate a significant difference from two‐way analysis of variance at p < .05 with Tukey's HSD means separation test (α = .05) within a time point among respective wild‐type and mutant lines
