Evaluation of the DR scores against PM and P. xanthi penetration/germination rates at ten-day post-inoculation. (A) DR scores of wild-type ADR27 and mutant plants were generated means of the inoculated five leaves for each genotypes at 10 dpi ( Table 1 ) and same colors indicated that there is no difference for DR scores statistically according to standard deviation bar. The lowest DR scores were observed in 4-11 (CsaMLO8/11^del) and 4-14 (CsaMLO1 ^A137N/8/11^del). The DR scores were statistically similar for 4-15 and 2-18 plants having CsaMLO1 mutation. 4-21 was determined as CsaMLO1/11 ^del mutant and the DR score was lower than CsaMLO1 ^del even if higher DR score than 4-11 and 4-14. (B) The strong penetration resistance is defined in 4-11 and 4-14 plants having loss of CsaMLO8 function. Also, P. xanthii germination rate was lowest in these mutants. 4-15 and 2-18 (CsaMLO1 ^del) penetration and germination rates were similar with the CsaMLO1/11^del. Percentages of the germination and penetration rates were created according to average of germinated and penetrated spores’ numbers from each genotype’s five leaves.
