FIGURE 4.
Relative abundance of soft rot pathogens in different soil and root samples. (A) Pectobacterium carotovorum and (B) Serratia. ND, MD, and HD represent the non-diseased, moderately diseased, and highly diseased sites, respectively. Data are expressed as mean ± SD (n = 3). For each type of samples, different lowercase (soil) or uppercase (root) letters within each group indicate significant differences among the three sampling sites [p ≤ 0.05; least significant difference (LSD) test].
