Disease symptom development and growth levels for Xam T3E mutants in cassava. A and B, Growth levels of Xam wild-type, ∆hrpF, ∆avrBs2, ∆xopX, and ∆xopK mutants following syringe infiltration in leaves (OD₆₀₀ = 0.0001). Median, first, and third quartiles are shown. The whiskers extend to the highest and lowest data point falling within 1.5*IQR (interquartile range). Dots represent outliers that fall outside 1.5*IQR. Each experiment was repeated three additional times (see Supplemental Fig. S1). C, Comparison of disease symptoms caused by T3E mutants on leaves at 6 d after syringe infiltration (OD₆₀₀ = 0.0001). D, Results of GLMM analysis, combining bacterial growth data from all replicate experiments. Combined estimated means and se are presented, as well as the difference between the means and the P values for each pairwise statistical contrast.
