Title
Sumatra disease in cloves induced by a xylem‐limited bacterium following mechanical inoculation

Other claims from this paper (5)
- Intervention effect Bacterial inoculation killed over 60% of seedling cloves and young trees within two years.
- Observation Inoculum-like bacteria were reisolated from dying plants but not water-treated controls.
- Observation Experimental symptoms and bacterial vessel occlusion matched natural infection.
- Observation All tested clove types were susceptible, including descendants of trees that survived past disease.
- Recommendation The authors suggest vigorous plants and protection from full sunlight to establish bacterial infection after mechanical inoculation.
