Resistance Defects of <i>wrky18</i>

<div><p>(A) Plants were chemically induced with 60 μM BTH 24 h before inoculation with a high dose of <i>Psm</i> ES4326 (OD₆₀₀ = 0.001). As a control, uninduced plants were inoculated at the same time. Bacterial growth was scored 3 dpi. Each datapoint represents the average colony-forming units (cfu) from 16 leaf disks plotted on a log scale, with error bars indicating 95% confidence intervals. This experiment was repeated more than five times with similar results.</p><p>(B) Plants were first inoculated with either P. syringae pv. <i>phaseolicola avrB</i> or 10 mM MgCl₂ on two lower leaves. Later (3 d), three upper leaves were inoculated with <i>Psm</i> ES4326 (OD₆₀₀ = 0.001). Leaf disks from the second inoculation were collected 3 dpi to measure bacterial growth. This experiment was carried out twice with similar results.</p><p>(C and D) To examine <i>wrky18</i> for an EDS phenotype, plants were inoculated with a low dose of <i>Psm</i> ES4326 (OD₆₀₀ = 0.0001). Bacterial growth was measured in 3 dpi (C), and disease symptoms were recorded in (D) 3 dpi. These experiments were performed more than five times with similar results.</p>
