- Observation Wilted tomato leaflets had reduced stomatal conductance.
- Observation Turgid leaflets sharing a petiole with wilted leaflets also had reduced stomatal conductance.
- Observation Embolized vessels were rare.
- Association Infected plants with low bacterial populations showed a slight trend toward more vessel embolisms.
- Observation Most xylem vessels in mock-infected plants emptied after excision.
- Observation About half the xylem vessels were clogged with bacterial biomass at wilt onset when populations exceeded 5×108 cfu/g stem tissue.
- Observation No tyloses were detected in preserved stems.
- Mechanism Bacterial blockage appears to be the principal cause of vascular disruption in Ralstonia wilt.
