Suppression of P. capsici infection and PcNLP6 expression via PcNLP6-targeting dsRNA. a The left figure shows the scheme of dsRNA treatment and P. capsici infection, and the right figure shows the phenotype result of P. capsici infection after treatment with mock and dsRNA_PcNLP6_3′, respectively, in 3 week-old N. benthamiana leaves using FOBI. Scale bar = 1 cm. b Quantification of P. capsici infection lesion size using ImageJ. c Quantification of PcNLP6 transcript level using qRT-PCR. Mock: Treated with dsRNA targeting Renilla luciferase. dsRNA_PcNLP6_3′: Treated with dsRNA_PcNLP6_3′. Data represent mean ± SEM (N = 3). Significance is determined by Student’s t-test, *P < 0.05 and **P < 0.01
