Silencing of CHL1 attenuated the suppression of INF1-triggered cell death by GFP-BSL1 and GFP-BSL3 in Nicotiana benthamiana. INF1 was coinfiltrated with GFP-StBSL1, GFP-StBSL3, GFP-AVR3a, and GFP control in TRV:CHL1 and TRV:GFP control plants. Cell death sites were counted at 5 d post infiltration. Significant difference is represented by letters (P < 0.001 in one-way ANOVA, using the Student-Newman-Keuls method). Results shown are combined data across three independent biological replicates, each consisting of seven individual plants, with three leaves infiltrated per plant. Error bars indicate SEM.
