Figure 7

Comparison of virulence between wild type, flagellar deletion mutant (ΔfliC) and Type IV Pili deletion mutant (ΔT4P). Squash seedlings were inoculated with either Wt, ΔfliC or ΔT4P strain. Inoculated plants were monitored for first appearance of wilt symptoms in the inoculated leaf, first appearance of systemic wilt symptoms in a second non-inoculated leaf and plant death for 25 days post inoculation (DPI). Summary and statistical analyses are in Tables S4 and S5.
