CLas titer quantification and symptoms of selected samples for RNA-seq analysis. (a) Bacterial titer in Mexican lime leaves of the five individual plants included in each library at 8 and 16 weeks post-inoculation (wpi). L8wpiHLB+1 and L8wpiHLB+2 are two replicates of asymptomatic plants at 8 wpi. L16wpiHLB+5 and L16wpiHLB+6 are two replicates of symptomatic plants at 16 wpi. L8wpiHLB-3 and L8wpiHLB-4 are control plants (mock-inoculated) at 8 wpi, and L16wpiHLB-7 and L16wpiHLB-8 are control plants (mock-inoculated) at 16 wpi. For each bar, standard deviation is shown. N.D: not detected. (b) Representative pictures of Mexican lime leaves used as source of biological material in the present study.
