Figure 3From: Ectopic expression of MdSPDS1 in sweet orange (Citrus sinensis Osbeck) reduces canker susceptibility: involvement of H2O2 production and transcriptional alterationCanker disease tolerance assay of the wild type (WT) and the transgenic lines (TG4 and TG9). Disease index (A, E) and lesion area (B, F) of WT, TG9 (A-D) and TG4 (E-H) after inoculation with Xac. Comparison between TG9 and WT, TG4 and WT was done in different inoculation experiment. Asterisks show that the values are significantly different compared with the control (* for P < 0.05, ** for P < 0.01 and *** for P < 0.001). Representative photographs showing symptoms on the abaxial (C, G) and adaxial (D, H) sides of the leaves from WT/TG9 (C-D) and WT/TG4 (G-H). Selected inoculation sites of the leaves were zoomed in and shown below the corresponding photos.Back to article page
