Figure 7From: Alfalfa snakin-1 prevents fungal colonization and probably coevolved with rhizobiaIn vivo characterization of MsSN1 overexpressing transgenic plants for resistance to Phoma medicaginis CT1. (A) Number of diseased leaflets related to total number of leaflet in 30-day-old inoculated plants. (B) Percentage of two-month-old inoculated plants with regrowth. (C) Percentage of vigor affected two-month-old inoculated plants. (D) Percentage of highly defoliated two-month-old inoculated plants (highly defoliated > 3 leaflets detached). (E) Representative photo comparing transgenic (S) with wild type (Wt) 30-day-old inoculated plants. (F) Detail of regrowth. (G) Detail of symptomatic regrowth. S: MsSN1-overexpressing plants. Wt: wild type. All values are means ± SEM (n =15-25). N.S: non-significant; *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001, t-test.Back to article page
