Sldmr6-1 mutants are resistant to Xanthomonas infection in the field. (A) Growth phenotype and quantification of the heights of wild-type, Sldmr6-1.1, and Sldmr6-1.2 lines. (B) Disease resistance assays with the bacteria X. perforans race T4 (10⁶ CFU per milliliter of each of strains GEV904, GEV917, GEV1001, GEV1063). (C) Comparison of the total marketable yield of wild-type plants and Sldmr6-1.1 and Sldmr6-1.2 mutant lines. Total marketable yield includes the medium, large, and extra-large fruit categories, which are defined according to the US Department of Agriculture specifications (49). No significant differences in total marketable yield were observed in this field trial (P > 0.05). Error bars represent SD. The letters indicate significant differences between the conditions as determined using a one-way ANOVA followed by a Tukey HSD test (P < 0.05).
