The different alleles of fliC have no effect on bacterial growth in tomato leaves but contribute differentially to induction of necrosis. (a) 4-wk-old tomato cv ‘Rio Grande’ plants were infiltrated with either wild-type Pto DC3000 (wt), Pto DC3000δfliC with an empty vector (EV) or Pto DC3000δfliC complemented with the indicated alleles of fliC at 1×10−4 O.D. Growth was quantified 4 d following infection. (b) The same plants used to quantify growth were scored for necrosis severity on the scale: 1, no necrosis; 2, moderate necrosis; 3, heavy necrosis; 4, total necrosis. (c) Representative pictures of necrosis induced by the different Pto DC3000δfliC complemented strains. Similar results were obtained in 4 independent experiments. Data shown are the average of 4 replicate leaves and error bars represent ± SE.
