In spray inoculation experiments that mimic natural infection, we found the rks1–1 and sut1–9 single mutants displayed a similar level of resistance against Xcc, both in hydathodes (Fig 5A and 5B, 7 dpi) and when the bacteria were spreading along the leaf vasculature (Fig 5A and 5C, 14 dpi). The gene discussed is SLC13A4; the disease is infection.
