Fig. 5: T4 and T173 form a taxonomic cluster of virulent pathogens affecting young seedlings from various IRLC species.

a Pathogenic and nodulation abilities of T4 on legume species. Pie charts represent the percentage of alive and dead plants. For M. truncatula, charts correspond to A17, Parragio, F83005.5 and Ghor, and for M. sativa, to Super GRI8, WL903, G969, Salina and Oleron. Nod+ and Nod− indicate nodulation ability. Maximum Likelihood phylogenetic tree shows the evolutionary history of legumes (Supplementary Data 5). The IRLC is indicated by an arrowhead. b The T4 virulence is NFs-independent. Primary root length and mortality at 21 dpi were used as proxy. For mock, WSM419, T4 and T4ΔnodABC, n = 16, 16, 16 and 32 plants. c Evaluation of the virulence of different E. adhaerens strains. Plant dry weight and mortality at 16 dpi were used as readouts. For mock, T4, T173, Casida A, R-7457, BR819 and OV14, n = 56, 64, 31, 32, 32, 32 and 32 plants. Nod+ and Nod− indicate nodulation ability. b and c For each box-and-whisker plot, the box contains 50% of the data, the bottom and the top of the box represent Q1 and Q3, respectively, the center line indicates the median, the center cross indicates the mean, the whiskers indicate the data that range within 1.5 time the interquartile range and if they exist, outliers are shown. Asterisks indicate significant differences compared to mock treatments (***P ≤ 0.0001; P values in b = 2.10−13 and 6.10−22; P values in c = 2.10−22 and 2.10−15; Two-sided Student’s t-test). d Hierarchical clustering analysis of biolog phenotypic microarray datasets. The heatmap represents normalized areas under the curve for carbon usage plates PM01 and PM02 (Supplementary Data 6). #, data retrieved from Fagorzi et al., 2020.
