Figure 4

The effect of knockdown of WBMinc13295 and WBMinc13296 on pathogenicity of J2s in long period of time.

(A–D) Representative symptoms of root knot on root system from different treatments (scale bar, 12 mm). (A,B) Refer to two controls, namely Res and NC-dsRNA, respectively. (C,D) Refer to WBMinc13295-dsRNA and WBMinc13296-dsRNA, respectively. (E) A decrease in the number of root knot was observed in root system after infection with the J2s with inactivation of WBMinc13296. (F) A decrease in the size of root knot was observed in root system after infection with the J2s with inactivation of WBMinc13296 and WBMinc13295. Each bar value represents the mean ± SD of triplicate experiments. Res, resorcinol. Two-way ANOVA, ns: no significance; *P < 0.05; ***P < 0.001 versus control J2s (NC-dsRNA).
