Response of <i>Arabidopsis</i> natural ecotypes to <i>F</i>. <i>oxysporum</i>.

<p><b>(A)</b><i>F</i>. <i>oxysporum</i> response was quantified by a disease score of 0–5 normalized to the disease score of the reference ecotype Col-0. Data shown are the mean and standard error of 3–40 plants per ecotype. Reference ecotype Col-0 and susceptible ecotype Ty-0 are shown in red. Ecotypes with disease scores significantly different (<i>P</i><0.05) to that of Col-0 using a Student’s <i>t</i>-test were classed as resistant or susceptible. <b>(B)</b> Representative <i>F</i>. <i>oxysporum-</i> inoculated plants at 14 days post inoculation (dpi). Ty-0, Fei-0 and Sorbo are classed as susceptible, Col-0, Shakdara and Löv-5 are classed as intermediate and Tamm-27, Eden-1 and Löv-1 are classed as resistant. Enlarged photos of boxed leaves show vein clearing symptoms on highly resistant accessions Tamm-27 and Eden-1.
