Transient expression of RcCDI1 and BcIEB1 in N. benthamiana enhanced plant resistance to P. capsici and P. parasitica. a Transient expression of RcCDI1 and BcIEB1 in N. benthamiana enhanced plant resistance to P. capsici strain LT263. BcIEB1-HA, RcCDI1-HA, or an empty vector (EV) was expressed in N. benthamiana via Agrobacterium-mediated transient expression for 1 d. b Transient expression of RcCDI1 and BcIEB1 in N. benthamiana enhanced plant resistance to P. parasitica strain Pp025. The indicated constructs were transiently expressed in N. benthamiana as in a. Leaves were inoculated and photographed 36–48 h later under UV light. Lesion areas were measured and calculated (mean ± SD, n ≥ 6; Student’s t-test; **, P < 0.01,***, P < 0.001). Scale bars: 1 cm. All experiments were performed three times with similar results
