Figure 10From: The beneficial fungus Piriformospora indica protects Arabidopsis from Verticillium dahliaeinfection by downregulation plant defense responsesEIN3 is required for full susceptibility of Arabidopsis to Vd . (A) The representative picture (3 independent experiments with 32 plants each) was taken after 21 days inoculation with Vd. (B) Number of survived seedlings. (C) Ethylene levels in WT and ein3 seedlings after exposure to Vd. Bars represent SDs. Asterisks indicate significant differences, as determined by Student's t-test (* P ≤ 0.05; ** P ≤ 0.01; *** P ≤ 0.001).Back to article page
