Figure 7. Virulence assays of each strain on plant leaf and complementation of the S. cerevisiae MTG2 mutant with BcMtg2.

(A) Disease symptoms on wounded tomato leaves 60 h after inoculation (h.p.i.). (B) Disease symptoms on wounded strawberry leaves 60 h after inoculation (h.p.i.). (C) Diameter of disease lesion on various plant leaf. 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. (D) Serial dilutions of cell suspensions of each strain were spotted onto YPRG plates including no inhibitor (CK), H₂O₂, NaCl and Congo red (CR). The growth of each strain on the plates was examined after yeast cells had been cultivated at 30 °C for 4 days.
