- Observation Morphology and multilocus phylogeny confirmed the presence of B. basicola in the carrot samples.
- Observation Koch’s postulates were confirmed after artificial inoculation of carrot roots by spraying or injecting spore suspension or inserting colony fragments.
- Observation Symptoms developed on both wounded and nonwounded carrot roots 7 days after inoculation.
- Observation B. basicola infected and sporulated only on wounded carrot seedlings.
