Higher evapotranspiration does not accelerate wilting symptom appearance on plants with intact roots. a Representative pictures taken at 9 dpi. “W/T” represents the number of wilting plants with respect to the total of infected plants. “Open” indicates air exchange conditions while “close” indicates no air exchange conditions. b Bacterial colonization in potato stems detected at 9 dpi. Two-week-old potato plants were inoculated with 1 × 108 cfu/ml of R. solanacearum strain GMI1000 without wounding the roots. The experiment was repeated twice using 12 plants for each
