Glasshouse evaluation of PVX.PxSDF2L1-agroinfected N. benthamiana plants inoculated with P. parasitica. a Quantitative evaluation of N. benthamiana plants with stem disease rating represented using a 1–10 linear scale, where 1 was no disease and 10 was a dead plant [27] for wild type, PVX.GFP- or PVX.PxSDF2L1-agroinfected plants (21 d.p.ai.) inoculated with P. parasitica at seven d.p.i. Bars show the means ± SE of three independent experiments. In each experiment, 12 plants were used per treatment. The means were compared using a one-way ANOVA test with Tukey’s post-test at P < 0.05. Treatments not sharing a common letter were significantly different (P < 0.0001). Plant and stem phenotypes of (b) control (wild type and PVX.GFP-) and (c) PVX.PxSDF2L1-challenged plants at seven d.p.i. with P. parasitica
