Regulation of Phytophthora capsici infection and PcNLP6 expression via dsNLP6_MTF and dsNLP6_OReg. a The experimental scheme for dsRNA treatment and P. capsici infection. b The phenotype of P. capsici infection lesion introduced with mock and dsNLP6_MTF, respectively, in 3-week-old Nicotiana benthamiana leaves, determined using a FOBI in vivo fluorescence imaging system. Scale bar = 1 cm. c The phenotype of P. capsici infection lesion introduced with mock and dsNLP6_OReg, respectively. Scale bar = 1 cm. d Quantification of P. capsici infection lesion size using ImageJ. e Relative expression level of PcNLP6 using quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR). Mock: Treatment with dsRNA targeting Renilla luciferase; dsNLP6_MTF: Treatment with dsNLP6_MTF; dsNLP6_OReg: Treatment with dsNLP6_OReg. MTF: Motif, OReg: Outer region. Data represent the mean ± standard error of mean (SEM; N = 3). Statistical significance is determined by Student’s t-test (*P < 0.05)
