DIMBOA-producing wild-type plants (BX1), or BX-deficient bx1 mutant plants. After 7, 14<br />

and 21 days of growth, roots of BX1 and bx1 plants from 2 independent genetic lines were<br />

collected and analysed for colonisation by P. putida FBC004 and other (non-GFP expressing)<br />

culturable rhizobacteria.<br />

The first experiment was performed with soil that had been autoclaved once<br />

before to the start of the experiment (Figure 5A), presenting a relatively low competition<br />

environment for the introduced P. putida cells. Two-factor ANOVA of rhizosphere colonisation<br />

of plants from Line A revealed a statistically significant interaction between plant genotype<br />

(BX1 versus bx1) and bacterial cell type (P. putida versus others) at all three time-points (7<br />

days: F 1,14 =9.151, p=0.009; 14 days: F 1,14 =43.432, p
