(A) Means of TH7 sporulation symptoms of Venturia inaequalis on apple leaves sprayed with different elicitors. F-Al = fosetyl-Al 1.25 g L−1, INU = inulin 1 g L−1, LEV = levan 1 g L−1, Mock = water-treated and TH7 = Townsend-Heuberger with the number of symptom-showing classes (n = 20 ± SE). Statistical significance at 16 days post-inoculation between treatments is indicated by different letters (p < 0.05). (B) Means of DNA concentrations of V. inaequalis on all 3 leaves at 14 days post-inoculation (dpi). F-Al = fosetyl-Al, INU = inulin, LEV = levan and Mock = water-treated (n = 6 ± SE). Statistical significance between treatments is indicated by different letters (p < 0.05). The experiment was repeated 3 times with consistent results.
