Infection caused by P. capsici.
(A) Infection caused by P. capsici D3 in chili and broccoli leaves at 24, 48, and 72 hours post-inoculation (hpi). The bars indicate the standard error of the mean (SEM) of the infected area in mm2 from five independent experiments. Groups A, B, C, and D indicate ANOVA significant differences (p < 0.05) in the development of infection within each plant species. (B) Phenotype of P. capsici infection in chili and broccoli. Left leaf of each host: visualization in natural light; the dark regions show the infected area. Right leaf: visualization with UV light (340 nm); the red regions indicate healthy tissue, the dark regions show the infected area in necrosis, and the orange regions show infection development in the biotrophic phase. Infection zoom: before and after infection (72 hpi) at 10X and 40X.
