Fig. 4From: Different requirement of immunity pathway components by oomycete effectors-induced cell deathSilencing individual NRC helper genes has no effect on the cell death triggered by the eight effectors in N. benthamiana. a Silencing efficiency of NbNRC2, NbNRC3 and NbNRC4 in the indicated gene knock-down N. benthamiana plants. Values represent average ± SE (n = 3); **, P < 0.01 compared with the GUS; Student’s t-test. b Transient expression of effectors in NRC2-, NRC3-, NRC4-silenced plants. Photographs were taken at 6 dpi. Consistent results were observed from three independent biological experiments, with each having at least eight repetitions. Numbers represent the number of leaves showing cell death out of the number of leaves analyzedBack to article page
