e0“a significantly higher reduction in BFB seed-to-seedling transmission was observed for seeds generated by ovary pericarp inoculation (≥89.5%) than for those generated by stigma inoculation (≤76.5%) (P<0.05).”

- Observation On dry filter paper, A. citrulli survived over 12 weeks, similarly to X. campestris but less long than R. solanacearum.
- Observation A. citrulli outlasted P. stewartii on dry filter paper.
- Observation R. solanacearum outlasted all other bacteria on dry filter paper.
- Observation A. citrulli populations fell five orders of magnitude on seeds after 12 weeks.
- Observation X. campestris populations fell five orders of magnitude on seeds after 12 weeks.
- Observation R. solanacearum populations fell three orders of magnitude on seeds.
- Observation P. stewartii could not be recovered after 12 weeks on seeds.
- Observation A. citrulli populations survived better inside the embryo or endosperm than at the seed coat.
- Observation P. stewartii survived longer in stigma inoculated than testa localized watermelon seeds.
