Growth of P. syringae pv. Tomato DC3000 in leaves of WT, atnap, sag202, ics1, s3h null mutants and S3HOE1 transgenic plants. The number of colony-forming units (cfu) per square centimeter of leaf area was determined 0, 1, and 2 days after inoculation. Error bars indicate SD of three biological repeats. *, ** and *** indicate P < 0.05, P < 0.01 and P < 0.001, respectively. Student’s t-test was used. The s3h null mutant (resistant to the infection) and S3HOE1 transgenic plants (susceptible to the infection) (Zhang et al., 2013) were included for comparison purpose
