FIG. 4.
Growth of P. syringae pv. syringae B728a, its mutant derivatives CUCPB5102 (ΔhrcC::nptII) and CUCPB5111 (ΔEEL::ΩSpr), and complemented strain CUCPB5111(pCPP3092) in bean leaves. Bacteria were inoculated by (A) infiltration with 104 CFU ml−1 or (B) dipping with 105 CFU ml of inoculum−1. Each point represents the mean and standard error of three samples, and each sample is composed of 10 7-mm leaf disks.
