Fig. 2: Xanthomonas Leaf131 and Leaf148 degrade plant tissue.

a, Leaf discs of Col-0 and rbohD plants (6 weeks old) were mock inoculated (10 mM MgCl2) or inoculated with Xanthomonas Leaf131 or Leaf148 (OD of 0.02) and incubated for 20 h. b, Time-course measurement and quantification of leaf disc brightness (arbitrary unit, AU) from experiment described in a. Statistical differences between Col-0 and rbohD at varying timepoints are indicated above box plots, with P value on the right or left of horizontal line indicating comparison (two-sided Mann–Whitney U test, n = 8). Box plots show the median with upper and lower quartiles and whiskers present 1.5× interquartile range. c, Leaf disc of 5-week-old rbohD plants mock (10 mM MgCl2) inoculated or with Xanthomonas Leaf131 or Leaf148 (OD of 0.02) and incubated for 48 h. Scale bar, 1 mm.
