Other claims from this paper (6)
- Association A. philoxeroides had superior growth compared with A. sessilis.
- Association A. philoxeroides accumulated superior amounts of Cd in its leaves compared with A. sessilis.
- Intervention effect Cd exposure decreased leaf lesions in A. philoxeroides after artificial infection by the leaf pathogen.
- Intervention effect Cd exposure decreased leaf lesions in A. sessilis after artificial infection by the leaf pathogen.
- Association A. philoxeroides had fewer leaf lesions than A. sessilis after infection by the leaf pathogen.
- Observation A bacterial strain isolated from the phyllosphere had a strong antagonistic effect against the leaf pathogen.
