Table 3 Disease severity index (DSI) of ToBRFV-infected Solanum lycopersicum plants treated with elicitors, measured at 7 Dpi (before flowering), 14 Dpi (during flowering), and 21 Dpi (after fruiting). Values represent means ± standard error from five replicates. Different letters indicate significant differences (Kruskal-Wallis H test, P < 0.05, dunn’s test with bonferroni adjustment).
