Effect of CMT dynamics on plant susceptibility to S. sclerotiorum. Plant susceptibility to S. sclerotiorum fungal pathogen was drastically increased in mutants that exhibited decreased CMT dynamics (pfd6-1, bot1-7 in red) compared with wild type (Col-0, Ws-4 in green). Conversely, mutants with increased CMT dynamics exhibited a decreased susceptibility to the fungal pathogen (clasp-1, nek1-6, spr2-2, tua-4 in orange). Values were computed on 454 leaves analyzed in three independent assays. Means were compared by t-test and significant p-values are indicated over brackets. Number of leaves per genotype is indicated under every boxplot. Boxplots show first and third quartiles (box), median (thick line), and the most dispersed values within 1.5 times the interquartile range (whiskers). ns. non-significant
