RPL contributes to both disease resistance and plant growth.
(A) Defense phenotypes of Col-0, rpl-4, and RPL-FLAG/rpl-4 at 3 dpi. The scale bar represents 1 cm.
(B) Pathogen numbers of Col-0, rpl-4, and RPL-FLAG/rpl-4 after inoculation days as indicated. Data are shown as mean ± SEM (n = 8–12). Statistical analysis was performed via two-tailed Student’s t-test. ∗∗p < 0.01.
(C) Defense phenotypes of Ler and rpl-1 at 3 dpi. The scale bar represents 1 cm.
(D) Pathogen numbers of Ler and rpl-1 after inoculation days as indicated. Data are shown as mean ± SEM (n = 8–12). Statistical analysis was performed via two-tailed Student’s t-test. ∗∗∗p < 0.001.
(E) Growth phenotypes of Col-0, rpl-4, RPL-FLAG/rpl-4, Ler, and rpl-1 after 3 weeks of growth. The scale bar represents 1 cm.
(F and G) (F) Rosette diameter and (G) fresh weight of Col-0, rpl-4, RPL-FLAG/rpl-4, Ler, and rpl-1 after 3 weeks of growth. Data are shown as mean ± SEM (n > 25). Statistical analysis was performed by one-way ANOVA with Brown–Forsythe and Welch’s test (significance was set to p < 0.05). Different letters indicate significant differences in rosette diameter or fresh weight. The results in (B), (D), (F), and (G) are representative of three independent experiments.
