a Images of cotton seedlings infected with Vd strains (V592, Δscp8-1, Δscp8-2, C-Pnative, and C-Polic) were captured at 20 days post inoculation. b Disease quantification in cotton plants is presented. c Arabidopsis plants infected with Vd strains were photographed at 20 days post inoculation. d Vd biomass quantification in infected Arabidopsis and N. benthamiana is shown. Bars represent means ± SE of two independent experiments, each consisting of two or three biological replicates. Individual data points are shown black dots. Statistical differences to Vd wild-type strain V592 are indicated (two-sided Student’s ttest). e Images of N. benthamiana infected with Vd strains were taken at 20 days post inoculation. f Transgenic Arabidopsis plants expressing SCP8, infected with Vd, were photographed at 20 days post inoculation.
