FIGURE 6.

Virulence of R. solanacearum strain RUN302 alone (closed diamond) and co-inoculated with jumbo phage RsoM2USA at the MOI of 1 (closed triangle). Disease severity was calculated based on a 0 (healthy) to 4 (75–100% leaves wilted) disease index of each plant. Points shown are means of three separate experiments, each containing 5 plants per treatment. Bars indicate standard errors. Significance of means was measured using the t-test (p < 0.05) in Microsoft Excel and denoted by an asterisk for statistically significant difference at the indicated timepoint.
