Genes Expressed in Grapevine Leaves Reveal Latent Wood Infection by the Fungal Pathogen Neofusicoccum parvum
Fig 2
Plant responses to infection were significant at 2 MPI.
(A) Starch content of the xylem fibers and rays decreased significantly in IW plants. Each point is the mean of three plants from stem sections at 0 cm. (B) Percentage of xylem vessels fully-occluded by gels increased significantly in IW plants. Each point is the mean of three plants, averaged across all three locations. The asterisk represents significant differences between IW and NIW plants; there were no significant differences in incubation periods without an asterisk (P ≤0.05, Tukey’s test; Table 2). NINW plants represent the 0 MPI incubation period (n = 3).
