Effects of overexpression of GhSDH1–1 in defense response to V. dahliae in A. thaliana. Selecting Line2 and Line3 which have higher expression levels of GhSDH1–1 for testing. Twenty dpi old seedings were inoculated with V. dahliae, the control plants were sprayed with water. Photos were taken at 15 dpi (a) and 20 dpi (b). c, Assessment of disease index (DI) at 15 dpi. Error bars represent the standard deviation of three biological replicates (n ≥ 30). Asterisks indicate statistically significant differences when compared with control
