Total population of PG4180 wild type ( ) and its hexR mutant ( ) in soybean leaves. Columns represent the percentage of internalized PG4180 wild type (Black) and its hexR mutant (Black stripes). Bacterial suspensions were spray-inoculated on leaves of soybean plants grown in a greenhouse at 19-21°C. Data represent the mean values from five independent experiments with each two leaf samples. Error bars represent standard deviation of the mean of five biological replicates (n = 5).
