FIG 7.

Fitness of the eda and edd mutants in tomatoes. The mutants were coinoculated with the isogenic wild type in a 1:1 ratio in green tomatoes or into tomatoes that also were seeded with P. carotovorum SR38. Ratios of the mutants to the wild type were assessed by patching onto selective media, and log competitive indices were determined. Box plots indicate 25 to 75% quantiles, and lines within box plots are medians. Whiskers indicate the first or third quantile plus 1.5 multiplied by the inner quantile range.
