Figure 6. Virulence analysis on plant fruit, following inoculation with the parental strain B05.10, ΔBcMtg2 and ΔBcMtg2C.

Agar plugs were used as negative controls (CK). (A) Disease symptoms on wounded strawberry fruits after 72 h inoculation (h.p.i.), (B) wounded grape fruits 72 h.p.i, (C) wounded tomato fruits wounded 72 h.p.i, (D) wounded apple fruits 72 h.p.i. (E) Diameter of disease lesion on various fruit. Bars denote the standard errors of four repeated experiments. Values on the bars followed by the same letter are not significantly different at P = 0.05.
