Reduction of viable cell number of Xcc in Xcc-contaminated seeds after CAC-717 treatment. Cabbage seeds contaminated with Xcc were treated with distilled water or CAC-717 at 25 °C for 30 min, and Xcc was recovered from the seeds as described in Methods. The samples were then plated and incubated on YDC medium at 25 °C, and the viable cell number (CFU/mL) was counted after 3 days. Data shown as mean ± SEM of triplicates and are representative of two independent experiments; * indicates a significant difference (p < 0.05) between the two groups by Mann–Whitney U-test.
