Extended Data Fig. 7: Tomato seed treatment with S. macrogoltabida reduces Verticillium wilt symptoms.

a, Phenotypes of tomato plants 14 days post inoculation with wild-type V. dahliae or the VdAve1 deletion mutant. Tomato seeds were surface-sterilized and allowed to germinate in vitro in the presence or the absence of S. macrogoltabida prior to infection. b, Canopy area of mock-treated and S. macrogoltabida-treated tomato plants infected by wild-type V. dahliae or the VdAve1 deletion mutant (one-way ANOVA and Tukey’s post-hoc test; p<0.01; N=30 for all experimental conditions, except for the mock-treated tomato plants inoculated with V. dahliae WT for which N=29). Whiskers of the boxplot display the upper and lower quartile; the boxes display the interquartile range and the thick line displays the median.
