Effect of root inoculation with selected Micromonospora strains (ALFb5 and ALFpr18c) on tomato resistance against Botrytis cinerea. (A) Symptom severity in leaves of tomato plants upon challenge with B. cinerea was determined by measuring the diameter of the necrotic lesions 42 h post-pathogen inoculation. Plants were grown in the absence of Micromonospora (Control) or inoculated at transplanting with Micromonospora strain ALFpr18c (pr18c) or strain ALF b5 (b5). Data not sharing a common letter are significantly different (Fisher’s protected LSD test at P ≤ 0.05). (B) Examples of B. cinerea symptom development in leaves of Micromonospora spp. inoculated (b5 or PR18c) or non-inoculated (control) plants.
