Fig 5. Antagonistic activity in planta of B. velezensis MBY2 on tomato plants.

Stems of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum cv Heinz) plants were pre-infected with A. fabrum C58 and subsequently treated with B. velezensis isolate MBY2, with A. radiobacter biocontrol strain K84 as positive or with distilled sterile water (DSW) as negative control. Tumor proliferation was followed for up to 70 days post-inoculation. For each treatment three plants were used in one representative experiment.
