The motility and ability of hypersensitive response (HR) elicitation of P. syringae pv. averrhoi strains.

aData were adapted from the report by Lin et al [23].bThis swimming assay was performed on 0.3% soft nutrient gelatin agar (NGA) plate.cThe scale shown with ±standard error is the mean diameter of swimming area and is calculated on triplicates.dThe bacteria were inoculated in tobacco leaves at 108 cfu/ml.eSymbol -, + and ++ denote respectively that bacteria are non-motile, swimming slowly and swimming well.fThe time represents the appearance of necrosis symptom and was recorded within 48 h.
