Functional analysis of putative Sc. effectors. Sc. effectors suppress BAX-induced programmed cell death in Nicotiana tabacum. Nicotiana tabacum leaves were infiltrated with agrobacterium carrying Sc. effector genes. Phytophthora oocytes (infestin-1 or INF1) served as positive controls and GFP as negative control. Pumpkin leaves were inoculated with Sc. Samples were collected at 0 day and 5 days. Quantitative RT-PCR (qRT-PCR) was used to determine gene expression levels. Values represent the mean ± SD (n = 3 biological replicates). The blue and red bars in figure B represent the gene expression at day 0 and day 5 after inoculation, respectively.
