B. cinerea development on rose petal disks. a Detached petal disks were obtained from the outermost whorl of rose flowers and inoculated with four 2-μL drops of B. cinerea inoculum, containing 105 conidia/mL, then observed at 36hpi, 30 hpi, and 48 hpi. Primary disease lesions observed at 36 hpi were indicated by arrows. b Lesion diameter following inoculation. Values represent the mean diameter of 32 individual lesions, and error bars indicate SE. C) Quantification of B. cinerea biomass in rose petals. Fungal biomass was determined using qRT-PCR, comparing B. cinerea internal transcribed spacer (ITS) relative to the rose RhUbi. Error bars represent the SD of the qRT-PCR results from three independent replicates
