EMR is not affected in tomato plants impaired in to ethylene production. (A) Ten days old tomato seedlings (UC82B) and ACD plants impaired in ET production were inoculated with water (mock), Fo47, Fol4287 or co-inoculated with Fo47 and Fol4287. Disease development was assessed by measuring fresh weight (B) and disease index (C) 3 weeks after inoculation. Raw data was analyzed by a non-parametric Mann–Whitney U-test (nsP > 0.05, ∗∗P < 0.01, ∗∗∗P < 0.001). The bioassay was performed two times with similar results (n = 10 for the first repetition and n = 20 for the second). (D) Representative stem pieces taken from crown (left) and cotyledon (right) level of five individual plants incubated for 4 days on PDA plates. Percentage of Fo47 colonization on mock-inoculated plants (n = 10) and Fo47 treated plants (n = 20). The experiment was performed two times with similar results. Raw data was analyzed by a non-parametric Mann–Whitney U-test (nsP > 0.05).
