Mutations in vgrG, clpV and hcp1 decrease the virulence of Xanthomonas phaseoli pv. manihotis. Images show susceptible cassava leaves inoculated with the Xpm strains CIO151 (positive control), ΔvgrG, ΔclpV, ΔicmF, Δhcp and ΔhrpX (negative control) strains. a. Symptoms obtained at 15 dpi (days post inoculation) using a hole inoculation assay. Similar results were obtained in two independent biological replicates. b. Symptoms obtained at 15 days post inoculation (dpi) using inoculation with scissors. c. Average lesion area produced by the Xpm strains in evaluation at 15 dpi using a hole inoculation assay (from (a)). Values are the means ± standard deviations from five replicates. One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) test was performed. ** Significant difference (p-value < 0.01)
