Fig. 2: Colonization of GNSR mutant plants by leaf bacteria.
From: Plant microbiota feedbacks through dose-responsive expression of general non-self response genes
Abundances of Arthrobacter Leaf137, Serratia Leaf50 and the foliar pathogen Pst on leaves, showing increased bacterial proliferation on plants with deficiencies in GNSR components. Colonization was monitored over the course of two days after inoculation of A. thaliana Col-0 wild-type plants and the indicated GNSR mutants (x axes) with bacterial suspensions at an OD600 of 0.00002. In each box plot, the horizontal bar indicates the median, the box edges indicate the first and third quartiles, and the whiskers indicate the smallest and largest values within 1.5× the interquartile range (IQR). The data are from one experiment with n = 8–9 plants per condition (indicated above each x axis). Statistical significance was assessed using one-sided t-tests relative to Col-0 (**P ≤ 0.01; *P ≤ 0.05). CFUs, colony-forming units; dpi, days post inoculation; FW, fresh weight.
