Fig. 7: ΔSsSaxA mutants are significantly less virulent on A. thaliana Col-0 than the wild-type fungus.

a Representative images of A. thaliana Col-0 leaves infected by WT and ΔSsSaxA mutants. b Comparison of lesion area caused by WT and ΔSsSaxA mutants 24 hpi on leaves of A. thaliana. Data represent mean ± SEM (n = 9 inoculated leaves from separate plants). c Relative growth of WT and ΔSsSaxA mutants on A. thaliana Col-0 as determined by qRT-PCR. The fungal Histone mRNA was normalized to the A. thaliana ACTIN2 mRNA to quantify the relative fungal colonization 24 hpi. Data represent mean ± SEM (n = 6 independent inoculated plants). Data were analyzed by one-way ANOVA (p < 0.001) followed by a Tukey’s post-hoc test. Different letters above the bars indicate statistically significant differences at p < 0.05. Source data are provided as a Source data file.
