Fig. 1

a Number of Z. tritici (Zt) IPO323 pycnidia per cm2 leaf of wheat cultivar Obelisk (orange/brown) and cultivar Chinese Spring (green) at 21 dpi-f. b Percentage of leaf area covered by lesions (PLACL) as in a and representative leaf phenotypes at 21 dpi-f. c Bacterial growth of P. syringae pv. oryzae (Por)/pv. tomato (Pst)/pv. maculicola (Psm) at 0 days post bacterial infection (dpi-b) and 4 dpi-b in wheat cultivars as in (a). Statistical analysis was performed using a Shapiro–Wilk test of normality followed by a Wilcoxon rank-sum test of null hypothesis. *P < 0.05; ***P < 0.001. Number of biologically independent replicates: a, b Ob/CS mock (n = 6), Ob Zt (n = 14), CS Zt (n = 16); c 0 dpi-b (n = 3), 4 dpi-b (n = 9). Fungal and bacterial infections, respectively, were carried out at least twice with similar results.
