Figure 8From: Four plant defensins from an indigenous South African Brassicaceae species display divergent activities against two test pathogens despite high sequence similarity in the encoding genesCombined overlay of the light microscopical analysis at 20× magnification and the cell permeabilization assay conducted on F. solani grown in the presence of Hc-AFPs for 48 h at 23°C. (A) Hc-AFP1 25 μg ml-1, (B) Hc-AFP2 12 μg ml-1, (C) Untreated control, (D) Hc-AFP3 25 μg ml-1, (E) Hc-AFP4 12 μg ml-1. The yellow fluorescence indicates a compromised membrane.Back to article page
