Xylem Colonization by an HrcV¯ Mutant of Ralstonia solanacearum Is a Key Factor for the Efficient Biological Control of Tomato Bacterial Wilt

Microscopic studies of the colonization of the vascular tissues of tomato by an HrcV¯ (formerly HrpO¯) mutant strain of Ralstonia solanacearum were carried out after either root inoculation of the mutant strain alone or delayed challenge inoculation by a pathogenic strain. The use of two different m...
