Figure 8: Soybean pathogenicity bioassay for determining the infection efficiency of Colletotrichum truncatum pathotype F8-3B-pAA1 transformants lacking cutinase, 5 days after inoculation (DAI). Cutinase silenced transformants with different percentage reduction in infection efficiency on soybean leaf (as indicated on the left side of leaf compared with the wild type on the right side of leaf in the picture above the graph). Mean percentage infection reduced values of transformants were normalized against the wild type. Different letters over the bars indicate significant differences conducted using analysis of variance (ANOVA). LSD (8.972) was calculated at p< 0.05 (n=3).
