Fig. 7: Reactive oxidative burst assay of BXW-resistant pub22/23 edited events of ‘Sukali Ndiizi’.

a Reactive oxidative burst assay of pub22/23 edited events and non-edited control upon infection with Xanthomonas campestris pv. musacearum (Xvm) followed by diaminobenzidine (DAB) staining. Photomicrographs showing the difference in browning intensity between the leaves of edited events compared to non-edited control plants. All images were captured at 300 dpi with a resolution of 2600 × 1595 pixels. Scale bar corresponds to 100 pixels, equivalent to 2.6 cm at the displayed resolution. b Graphical representation of browning intensity of edited and non-edited control leaves after Xvm infection, followed by DAB staining. Data were presented as box-and-whisker plots (n = 3).
