Colonization of ethylene synthesis and signaling mutants by <i>P. indica</i>.

Abstract

<p>(<b>A</b>) Three-week-old plants were inoculated with <i>P. indica</i> and fungal biomass was determined in <i>ein2-1</i>, <i>etr1-3, eto1-1, ctr1-1</i>, and <i>35S</i>::<i>ERF1</i> by qRT-PCR at 3 and 14 dai. (<b>B</b>) Three-week-old <i>35S::ERF1</i> plants were injured with foreceps and inoculated with <i>P. indica</i> at 1 day after wounding. Fungal biomass was determined by qRT-PCR at 3 and 7 dai. All values were related to Col-0 (set to one). The data are based on at least three independent experiments. Students <i>t</i>-test indicated significant difference in <i>P. indica</i>-colonization (* P<0.05, ** P<0.001).</p
