Amino acids 40 to 56 of AP_SAP11-like_PM19 protein are required for symptom development in A. thaliana. (a) Transgenic A. thaliana lines expressing AP_SAP11-like_PM19 (SAP11-like) and AP_SAP11-like_PM19Δ40–56 (SAP11-like-Δ40–56) under the control of the Cauliflower mosaic virus 35S promoter compared to the wt Arabidopsis Col-0 plant. All plants were grown for 8 weeks in long-day (16 h/8 h light/dark) conditions. For each of the three constructs, at least 3 lines were examined, all showing similar phenotypic characteristics. (b) Leaves of transgenic plant lines shown in (a). Scale bar = 1 cm. (c) Siliques of transgenic lines shown in (a).
