& Jonathan Gressel | | | | Figure 3. The ability of NEP1 Colletotrichum coccodes to control Abutilon plants successfully through the stage of three true leaves.
Damage was rated (A) three days and (B) eight days after inoculation (open bars, wild type-treated; shaded bars, NEP1 Colletotrichum-treated). (C) Appearance of wild-type Colletotrichum-treated and strain T-20 NEP1 Colletotrichum-treated Abutilon plants eight days after treatment at the stage of three true leaves. The plants were sprayed with 6  106 chopped mycelial propagules/ml of water to runoff, kept 24 h at 100% humidity, and photographed eight days after inoculation. Disease ratings are as in Figure 2. Differences in damage rating between wild-type Colletotrichum versus strain T-20 NEP1 Colletotrichum were significant at *(P < 0.05) or ** (P < 0.01) as determined with Student's paired t-test. ns, Not significant.
