Other claims from this paper (6)
- Method / resource The setup captures 16 independent Xcc infections in Arabidopsis plants in parallel over time.
- Method / resource The method reliably quantified growth of Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato in plants.
- Method / resource The camera imaged Xcc in hydathodes during early infection and yielded reproducible data.
- Method / resource The image analysis data were robust and validated other bioluminescence imaging findings with fewer samples.
- Method / resource Bioluminescence detection within 5 min was faster than the earlier light-sensitive film method.
- Recommendation The authors consider the method suitable for non-invasive resistance screening of Arabidopsis accessions and mutant lines.
