Transcriptomic analysis of Pectobacterium carotovorum strain S1.16.01.3K and expI mutant infecting a cabbage
Cells were inoculated on cabbage slices and incubated at 28  with gently shaking (80 rpm). Under these conditions, rotting symptoms were successfully initiated and developed by wild-type. No visible symptoms were detected at 4 hours post-infection (hpi), but clear rotting symptoms with <0.1 cm were observed at 6.5 hpi.
