Figures & data

Figure 1 Changes in photosynthetic proteins during bacterial infections and XacPNP treatment. Protein spots from 2-DE SDS-PAGE of proteins from citrus leaves stained with Coomassie blue. Citrus leaves were infiltrated with XacWT, ΔXacPNP (107 CFU/ml) and 5 µM XacPNP pure protein (+XacPNP). After 3 days of bacterial infections or 30 minutes after infiltration with recombinant protein, total plant proteins were extracted and subjected to the proteomics analysis. As control, citrus leaves were infiltrated with Tris 50 mM.

Figure 2 Effect of PNPs in effective quantum efficiency of photosystem II in host leaves. Chlorophyll fluorescence was measured by an 0.8 s saturating pulse at 5,000 mmol m−2 s−1 in leaves infiltrated with 5 µM PNPs, Xac wild type, ΔXacPNP and ΔXacPNP (107 CFU/ml) complemented with XacPNP and CsPNP-A. In the control, citrus leaves were infiltrated with Tris 50 mM. The results are the mean of three replicates and error bars represent the standard deviations.
