Pathogenicity assay in planta . Inoculation by pressure infiltration of X. citri subsp. citri str. 306, X. citri subsp. citri str. Aw12879 and X. citri subsp. citri str. AwΔavrGf1 mutant on young Duncan grapefruit, Valencia and Hamlin leaves. The culture concentration of 108 cfu/ml was used for inoculation and leaves were photographed after 10 days of incubation. XccA306 infects all three citrus varieties; Xcaw12879 shows hypersensitive reaction only on grapefruit. XcawΔavrGf1 mutant shows reduced symptoms as compared to XccA306 on grapefruit and no symptoms on Valencia and Hamlin.
