Treatment Summary:For inoculations, single isolates of Cochliobolus heterostrophus were cultured on V8 agar for 3-4 weeks as described by (Christensen et al., 2018). Spot inoculations were performed on 14-d-old plants in which four 10 μl droplets of either C. heterostrophus suspension (1x106 spores mL-1) or control solution (sterile 0.1% Tween 20) were applied in a staggered fashion (Fig. 2a and Fig. 4a) onto the middle portion of the third leaf about 10cm from the distal tip. Following inoculation, both heat-stressed and non-heat-stressed plants were placed in a plastic humidity chamber and placed in the 28°C Percival. At 24 hours post-inoculation, infected and non-infected controls were removed from the humidity chambers and maintained at 28°C for the remainder of the experiment. At 72 hours post-inoculation, leaves (n=6) were photographed and immediately harvested into liquid N2. Lesions were digitally measured using ImageJ software (ImageJ 1.36b; Wayne Rasband, NIH, Bethesda, MD, USA).
