The resistance of wild-type (WT) and GhGLP2-transgenic Arabidopsis plants. (a) Disease symptoms of Arabidopsis plants infected with Verticillium dahliae or Fusarium oxysporum in soil 30 or 50 days post inoculation (dpi), respectively. (b, c) Plant disease indexes of Arabidopsis plants after inoculation with V. dahliae (b) and F. oxysporum (c). (d–i) Disease symptoms (d, g), lesion areas (e, h) and trypan blue staining (f, i) on detached leaves of Arabidopsis plants after inoculation with V. dahliae (d–f) or F. oxysporum (g–i) at 48, 72 and 96 h post-inoculation (hpi), respectively. Data represent the means ± SD of three independent biological replicates (n ≥ 10). Student’s t-test, *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01 compared to wild-type plants. Bar = 500 μm.
