Inoculation of Colletotrichum spp. on detached wounded and non-wounded strawberry leaves at different temperatures. (a) Lesions at 7 days post inoculation (dpi) on wounded leaves or at 14 dpi on non-wounded leaves incubated at 25 °C or 30 °C. The left side of each leaflet was inoculated with 10 μl spore suspension (106 spores/ml) and the right side with water (control). (b–c) Lesion sizes resulting from inoculation of wounded and non-wounded leaves. The results from the same temperature were analyzed together. Data (mean ± standard error) with different letters are significantly different based on Tukey's range test at P < 0.05 (n = 12). For each species, the difference between 25 °C and 30 °C was analyzed by Student’s t test (*denotes P < 0.05).
