Complementation of the CNT transposon mutants with a functional CK biosynthetic gene restores their biocontrol ability.
(a) The biocontrol ability of CNT transposon mutants is restored by complementation with functional Atipt or G20-18miaA evident from strongly reduced Pto symptoms (right leaf halves) 4 days post infection (dpi) with 106 cfu ml−1. Transformation with the empty vector pBBRMCS-5 (EV) has no effect. (b) Average Pto symptom score in Arabidopsis 4 dpi with 106 cfu ml−1 after indicated pre-treatments. Data are means ± s.e. n ≥ 226, letters indicate different significance groups (P < 0.05).
