All interactions were scored specifically on first true leaves as compatible, incompatible or intermediate depending on the consistency of presence / absence of sporangiophores determined on 5-10 seed
Following inoculation of two leaves per plant with 0.1 ml of 10 -8 cfu/ml bacteria in 10 mM MgSO4 buffer using a blunt-tipped syringe, leaf collapse was scored at 20 hrs and again at 24 hrs after inoc
Plants were checked bi-weekly for presence of first buds, and the average leaf number at flowering time of 4 plants of the same accession were collected
Number of days following stratification to opening of first flower. The experiment was stopped at 200 d, and accessions that had not flowered at that point were assigned a value of 200
