FIGURE 1 Bacillus cereus AR156 induces systemic resistance against P. capsici, B. cinerea, and PstDC3000.
Induction of systemic resistance of Arabidopsis ecotype Col-0 wild type (WT) to P. capsici , B. cinerea , and PstDC3000 by B. cereus AR156. Plants were pretreated with 5 × 107 CFU/mL of AR156 and 0.85% NaCl for 5 d. Subsequently, the plants were inoculated with P. capsici ,B. cinerea , and Pst DC3000. (A) The lesion area was determined 2 d after inoculation with P. capsici . (B) Phenotypic effects of AR156 ISR on P. capsici in Arabidopsis . (C) The lesion area was determined 2 d after inoculation with B. cinerea . (d) Phenotypic effects of AR156 ISR on B. cinerea inArabidopsis . (e) The concentration of Pst DC3000 in the leaves was counted after 3 d. (f) Phenotypic effects of AR156-ISR onPst DC3000 in Arabidopsis . Statistical analyses were performed between Mock and AR156 (**, P < 0.01; Student’st -test).
