Figure 2.
The trans‐complementation of the AG91‐25 pathogenic strain PSS4 by RipAX2 permits AG91‐25 resistance. (A) Photographs taken at 6 days post‐inoculation. (B) Survival curves representing the wilting of AG91‐25 eggplants after soil drenching inoculation [108 colony‐forming units (CFU)/mL, 10 mL per plant] with wild‐type PSS4 and PSS4::ripAX2. (C) Photographs taken at 6 days post‐inoculation. The strains PSS4 and PSS4::ripAX2 are able to wilt MM738 susceptible eggplants. (D) Survival curves representing the wilting of MM738 eggplants after root inoculation. Log‐rank (Mantel–Cox) test P values compared with GMI1000 are shown beside the graphs for (B) and (D).
