In planta evaluation of seven selected bacterial strains in Kalanchoe. (a) Scoring of the extent of vascular necrosis in Kalanchoe stems. The scores relate to the percentage of necrotic vascular tissue as described in Materials and Methods. (b) Quantification of the relative amount of Fusarium oxysporum DNA in Kalanchoe stems. C− is mock treatment (water) and C+ is untreated inoculated control plants. Error bars represent the standard error of the mean. n = 6. Treatment means marked with different letters are significantly different at p ≤ 0.05.
