FIG. 2.
Mean S. enterica phyllosphere populations of tomato plants. Four-week-old tomato plants of S. pimpinellifolium cultivar WVa700 and S. lycopersicum cultivar H7996 were dip inoculated with an S. enterica cocktail. Plants were sampled at 7 and 14 dpi. Bacterial counts were log transformed, and populations were calculated as log CFU/cm2. Error bars represent the standard deviation of the mean.
