2.2 Dickeya solani and D. dianthicola strains used in plant assays
Five D. dianthicola strains (RNS11-47-1-1A, CFBP1888, CFBP2982, CFBP2015, MIE34) and five D. solani strains (3337 = RNS08-23-3-1A, IPO2222, RNS05-1-2A, Ds0432.1, PPO9019) were used to produce plant inoculation assays. The strains were chosen to be different regarding phylogeny placement with neutral markers (Figure S1 ) and geographical locations, isolation years or host of collection (potato plants vs ornamentals, Table S2 ). Phylogeny analyses were conducted using MEGA7 (Kumar, Stecher, & Tamura, 2016). Bacterial strains were stored at -80°C in glycerol (25% vol/vol). They were cultivated in TY medium (tryptone 5 g.L-1; yeast extract 3 g.L-1) with or without agar (15 g.L-1) at 28°C.
