Greenhouse evaluation of transgenic tobacco plants for resistance against Rhizoctonia solani. (A) Phenotype of wild-type (above) and utrAP24-Gluc 2 (below) tobacco plants inoculated with R. solani at 3 weeks post-inoculation (wpi). (B) Evaluation of disease incidence of R. solani in transplastomic tobacco plants. (C) Quantitative real time PCR to measure R. solani (fungal biomass) growth in transgenic plants at 3 wpi. Bars represent mean values (N = 90; ±SD). Different letters within the columns indicate significant differences (p < 0.0001).
