Transient overexpression of RXLR effector genes enhanced plant susceptibility to P. infestans infection. a Phenotypes of N. benthamiana leaves infected with P. infestans. GFP was transiently expressed on the left of the detached leaves, and the effector was transiently expressed on the right. Photos were taken at ~ 7 days post inoculated with P. infestans zoospores. b Average lesion area of leaves expressing GFP and the effectors. The lesions were presented as the mean ± SE of at least 20 independent biological replicates. Statistical significance was assessed by Student’s t-test. ***P < 0.001
