The first step is related to the inoculation of SubtiTree in plants through stomata (opened in wet condition). We diluted our bacterial samples to get two concentrations:  5.10^6 and 10^8 bacteria per mL. The WT and trasnformed bacteria are introduced into plants (a control test without bacteria was performed). Thanks to a 1 ml syringe (without needle), the plant was injected with bacteria by pressure. Five leaves of each plant were used, marked with a marker point. It is necessary to repeat the operation on both sides of the leaf and the excess is wipe off. The plants are placed in a growth chamber (phytotron) to control light, high humidity, temperature and bacterial non-proliferation. Bacterial growth in the plant is left for 24 h.

The next step begins with the preparation of the fungal samples.Fungal culture is crushed and mixed with PDB (Potato Dextrose Broth). Then the mix passes through a 100 µm filter (to remove large aggregates) and  through a 40 µm filter. The caught hyphae are mixed with PDB for 24 to 48 hours until OD(600nm) 2.5 isobtained. The previously seeded leaves are taken from the plant using a scalpel and placed in boxes above wet absorbent paper (leaves are kept alive for a week). Above each leaf, 5µl of the fungal suspension is deposited (using beveled tips because it is too viscous). As control, we kept inoculated leaves without fungus and leaves with only fungus. Pictures are taken at different times. All the plants are destroyed by autoclaving.
