The result of the infection assay showed statistically significant differences among the A. thaliana line expressing MVLG_05122ΔSP-CFP, the line expressing CFP alone, and expressing the wild type line; A. thaliana line expressing MVLG_05122ΔSP-CFP demonstrated higher disease index scores than the other two control groups (Figure 7). The gene discussed is CFP; the disease is infection.
