RxLR48 facilitates Phytophthora capsici infection in Nicotiana benthamiana. a, b Enhanced infection of P. capsici by RxLR48. Equal area of mycelium was inoculated onto leaf regions transiently expressing RxLR48 or GFP at 36 hpi. Photographs (a) were taken under UV light and lesion diameters were measured at 36 hpi. The shown data (b) calculated from three independent biological replicates, and error bars represent + SD of at least six leaves each (**, P < 0.01, Student’s t test). c Expression of RxLR48 in planta. Expression of RxLR48 was visualized by confocal images of N. benthamiana epidermal cells. Photographs were taken at 48 hpi. White scale bar represents 20 μm
