A newly discovered bacterial species, Pseudomonas floridensis, has emerged as a pathogen of tomato in Florida. This study compares the virulence and other attributes of P. floridensis to Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato, which causes bacterial speck disease of tomato. Pseudomonas floridensis reached lower population levels in leaves of tomato as compared to the P. syringae pv. tomato strains DC3000 and NYT1. Analysis of the genome sequence of the P. floridensis type strain GEV388 revealed that it has just nine type III effectors including AvrPtoBGEV388, which is 66% identical to AvrPtoB in DC3000. Five of these effectors have been previously reported to be members of a ‘minimal effector repertoire’ required for full DC3000 virulence on Nicotiana benthamiana; however, GEV388 grew poorly on leaves of this plant species compared to the DC3000 minimal effector strain. The tomato Pto gene recognizes AvrPtoB in race 0 P. syringae pv. tomato strains, thereby conferring resistance to bacterial speck disease. Pto was also found to confer resistance to P. floridensis, indicating this gene will be useful in the protection of tomato against this newly emerged pathogen.  相似文献

Inoculation of tomato seeds with the plant growth-promoting bacterium Azospirillum brasilense, or spraying tomato foliage with A. brasilense, streptomycin sulfate, or commercial copper bactericides, separately, before or after inoculation with Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato, the casual agent of bacterial speck of tomato, had no lasting effect on disease severity or on plant height and dry weight. Seed inoculation with A. brasilense combined with a single streptomycin foliar treatment and two foliar bactericide applications at 5-day intervals (a third or less of the recommended commercial dose) reduced disease severity in tomato seedlings by over 90% after 4 weeks, and significantly slowed disease development under mist conditions. A. brasilense did not induce significant systemic resistance against the pathogen although the level of salicylic acid increased in inoculated plants. Treatment of tomato seeds that were artificially inoculated with P. syringae pv. tomato, with a combination of mild chemo-thermal treatment, A. brasilense seed inoculation, and later, a single foliar application of a copper bactericide, nearly eliminated bacterial leaf speck even when the plants were grown under mist for 6 weeks. This study shows that a combination of otherwise ineffective disease management tactics, when applied in concert, can reduce bacterial speck intensity in tomatoes under mist conditions.  相似文献

A rapid detection method based on PCR amplification of Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato chromosomal sequences was developed. Primer design was based on the P. syringae DC3000 hrpZPst gene, which maps on a pathogenicity-associated operon of the hrp/hrc pathogenicity island.A 532 bp product corresponding to an internal fragment of hrpZPst was amplified from 50 isolates of P. syringae pv. tomato belonging to a geographically representative collection. The amplification product was also obtained from three coronatine-deficient strains of P. syringae pv. tomato.On the other hand, PCR did not produce any such products from 100 pathogenic and symbiotic bacterial strains of the genera Pseudomonas, Xanthomonas, Erwinia, and Rhizobium and 75 unidentified bacterial saprophytes isolated from tomato plants. The method was tested using leaf and fruit spots from naturally-infected tomato plants and asymptomatic nursery plants and artificially contaminated tomato seeds. The results confirmed the high specificity observed using pure cultures.  相似文献

Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato has been observed in the fields in Sinaloa causing typical symptoms of bacterial speck. During the 2004?C2005 growing seasons atypical symptoms were observed in tomato varieties grown in Sinaloa, consisting of external necrosis of stems, petioles, peduncles and fruit calyxes. Although the disease affected 80?C90% of the foliage, there were no speck symptoms on fruit. The objectives of this study were to: (a) identify the causal agent of the disease, (b) determine the sensitivity of the pathogen to various antibiotics in vitro and (c) test their efficacy for controlling the disease in tomato plants under greenhouse conditions. The results of the present study indicate that biochemical and physiological characteristics as well as the molecular studies of bacterial isolates associated with the yellow halo spot and external necrosis of the stem of tomato are closely related to P. syringae pv. tomato, although whether these isolates indeed belong to pathovar tomato needs further assessment. The efficacy of gentamicin sulfate and oxytetracycline chlorhydrate in vitro, and in planta under greenhouse conditions, represents a possible option for the chemical control of the disease under field conditions. The results also indicate a reduced sensitivity of the characterized isolates to copper hydroxide as compared with the above mentioned antibiotics in northern Sinaloa.  相似文献

Bacterial speck of tomato, caused by Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato, was observed to cause severe symptoms, especially on protected tomato crops, during the winter season in the coastal area of Lebanon. This study was conducted to investigate the aetiology and pathogenesis of the bacterium involved and the efficacy of different chemicals for the control of the disease. Biochemical, physiological and pathological tests verified the identity of the bacterium involved as P. s. tomato. Periodic histological sectioning of inoculated tomato leaves showed that bacterial cells resided and multiplied in depressions and around trichome bases for 24 h before penetration through stomata and trichome basal cells. The bacteria invaded intercellular spaces and caused cell lignification, collapse and shrinkage, 48 h after inoculation. Necrotic lesions filled with bacterial masses and collapsed lignified cells were readily observable at and after 72 h. No detectable histological changes were observed in the yellow halo region surrounding the necrotic leaf specks. A thermostable toxin was produced by the pathogen and is involved in chlorotic symptom expression. An antibiotic mixture of streptomycin + oxytetracy‐cline was most effective in controlling infections followed by copper oxychloride + mancozeb, tribasic copper sulphate + sulphur, copper oxychloride and copper oxychloride + zineb.  相似文献

A total of 298 bacterial isolates were collected from pea cultivars, landraces and breeding lines in North-Central Spain over several years. On the basis of biochemical-physiological characteristics and molecular markers, 225 of the isolates were identified as Pseudomonas syringae, either pv. pisi (110 isolates) or pv. syringae (112), indicating that pv. syringae is as frequent as pv. pisi as causal agent of bacterial diseases in pea. Most strains (222) were pathogenic on pea. Further race analyses of P. syringae pv. pisi strains identified race 4 (59.1% of the isolates of this pathovar), race 2 (20.0%), race 6 (11.8%), race 5 (3.6%) and race 3 (0.9%). Five isolates (4.6%) showed a not-previously described response pattern on tester pea genotypes, which suggests that an additional race 8 could be present in P. syringae pv. pisi. All the isolates of P. syringae pv. syringae were highly pathogenic when inoculated in the tester pea genotypes, and no significant pathogenic differences were observed. Simultaneous infections with P. syringae pv. pisi and pv. syringae in the same fields were observed, suggesting the importance of resistance to both pathovars in future commercial cultivars. The search for resistance among pea genotypes suitable for production in this part of Spain or as breeding material identified the presence of resistance genes for all P. syringae pv. pisi races except for race 6. The pea cultivars Kelvendon Wonder, Cherokee, Isard, Iceberg, Messire and Attika were found suitable sources of resistance to P. syringae pv. syringae.  相似文献

An early event correlated with the gene-for-gene hypersensitive response (HR) is the accumulation of active oxygen species (AOS), also known as the oxidative burst. We present data that genetically demonstrates that the oxidative burst is a downstream component of the RPS2- avrRpt2gene-for-gene signal cascade. An in planta AOS assay using the fluorescent probe 2′,7′-dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate (DCFH-DA) was modified for use with the Arabidopsis thaliana / Pseudomonas syringae pv.tomato (P. syringae pv. tomato) model system. An oxidative burst occurred between 8 and 15 hpi with avirulent P. syringae pv. tomato(avrRpt2), but not with virulent P. syringae pv. tomato. This burst preceded cell death and was not observed in the RPS2 Arabidopsis mutantsrps2-101C and rps2-201 inoculated with avirulent P. syringae pv. tomato. An HR-like response has been observed when plants undergoing a systemic acquired resistance (SAR) response are challenged with a normally virulent pathogen (manifestation stage of SAR), however an HR-like oxidative burst was not detected by the in planta AOS assay during this stage of SAR.  相似文献

Phytohormones are involved in the regulation of plant responses to biotic stress. How a limited number of hormones differentially regulate defence responses and influence the outcome of plant–biotic interactions is not fully understood. In recent years, cytokinin (CK) was shown to induce plant resistance against several pathogens. In the present study, we investigated the effect of CK in inducing tomato resistance against the hemibiotrophic pathogenic bacteria Xanthomonas campestris pv. vesicatoria (Xcv) and Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato (Pst). We demonstrate that CK enhances tomato resistance to Xcv and Pst through a process that relies on salicylic acid and ethylene signalling. CK did not directly affect the growth or biofilm formation ability of these pathogens in vitro. Overall, our work provides insight into the underlying mechanisms of CK-induced immune responses against bacterial pathogens in tomato.  相似文献

Bacterial canker is one of the most important diseases of cherry (Prunus avium). This disease can be caused by two pathovars of Pseudomonas syringae: pv. morsprunorum and pv. syringae. Repetitive DNA polymerase chain reaction-based fingerprinting (rep-PCR) was investigated as a method to distinguish pathovars, races and isolates of P. syringae from sweet and wild cherry. After amplification of total genomic DNA from 87 isolates using the REP (repetitive extragenic palindromic), ERIC (enterobacterial repetitive intergenic consensus) and BOX primers, followed by agarose gel electrophoresis, groups of isolates showed specific patterns of PCR products. Pseudomonas syringae pv. syringae isolates were highly variable. The differences amongst the fingerprints of P. syringae pv. morsprunorum race 1 isolates were small. The patterns of P. syringae pv. morsprunorum race 2 isolates were also very uniform, with one exception, and distinct from the race 1 isolates. rep-PCR is a rapid and simple method to identify isolates of the two races of P. syringae pv. morsprunorum; this method can also assist in the identification of P. syringae pv. syringae isolates, although it cannot replace inoculation on susceptible hosts such as cherry and lilac.  相似文献

A scheme for routine seed testing forXanthomonas campestris pv.vesicatoria andPseudomonas syringae pv.tomato in pepper and tomato seeds was developed. The scheme is based on different bacterial enrichment techniques. As few as 1000 and 10–100 colony forming units per gram of seeds were detected using a liquid enrichment technique or leaf enrichment technique, respectively. Relatively large amounts of saprophytes on the seed surfaces did not interfere with the detection of the pathogens.  相似文献

A bacterial strain, CFBP 3388, isolated from Vetch (Vicia sativa, L.) was identified asP. s. pv.syringae on the basis of nutritional and biochemical patterns which were obtained with classical tests and the Biolog system. It caused necrotic symptoms typical ofP. s. pv.syringae on bean leaves and pods after artificial inoculation. However, the isolate caused a citrulline-reversible inhibition ofE. coli in phaseolotoxin bioassay. Furthermore, with CFBP 3388 DNA as template a 1900 bp DNA fragment, specific for the phaseolotoxin DNA cluster ofP. s. pv.phaseolicola, was amplified by PCR. This is the first demonstration that an isolate ofP. syringae that is not pv.phaseolicola can produce phaseolotoxinAbbreviations bp base pair - kb kilobase - OCT Ornithine Carbamoyl Transferase  相似文献

In the spring of 2012, symptoms of a disease resembling citrus blast and citrus black pit were observed in some orchards in Tunisia. The epidemic spread rapidly in the following years. Twenty‐four commercial citrus orchards from four Tunisian regions showing characteristic symptoms of bacterial diseases were surveyed during a 3‐year study. Eighty‐eight Pseudomonas‐like bacterial isolates were successfully obtained from the northeast and west of Tunisia. No isolates were recovered from the central region. Overall, 46 isolates were identified as Pseudomonas syringae pv. syringae and most of them showed similar phenotypic and genetic profiles. The virulence of three selected isolates differed from one plant cultivar to another as well as from the type of plant organ used for the inoculation. In a bioassay test, all isolates produced syringomycin, which was confirmed by molecular detection based on the syrB and syrD genes. Only EC122 possessed syrD but not syrB. DNA fingerprints, based on repetitive sequence‐based polymerase chain reaction (rep‐PCR) and PCR melting profile (PCR MP), were used to determine the potential genetic diversity among strains. Clustering of PCR MP fingerprinting data matched with rep‐PCR fingerprinting data. The generated distribution tree showed that Tunisian isolates were closely related to the citrus reference strain LMG5496. In contrast, EC112, isolated from citrus, and the almond isolate EC122 were distantly related to the type strain LMG1247T isolated from lilac. Such studies have not been reported until now for P. syringae from citrus.  相似文献

Lycopersicon esculentum cultivar Micro-Tom is a miniature tomato with many advantages for studies of the molecular biology and physiology of plants. To evaluate the suitability of Micro-Tom as a host plant for the study of pathogenesis, Micro-Tom plants were inoculated with 16 well-known fungal, bacterial, and viral pathogens of tomato. Athelia rolfsii, Botryotinia fuckeliana, Oidium sp., Phytophthora infestans, and Sclerotinia sclerotiorum caused typical symptoms and sporulated abundantly on Micro-Tom. Micro-Tom was resistant to Alternaria alternata, Corynespora cassiicola, and Fusarium oxysporum. When Micro-Tom was inoculated with 17 isolates of Ralstonia solanacearum, many isolates induced wilt symptoms. Agrobacterium tumefaciens also was pathogenic, causing crown galls on stem tissue after needle prick inoculation. In Micro-Tom sprayed with Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato, P. s. pv. tabaci, or P. s. pv. glycinea, bacterial populations did not increase, and yellow lesions appeared only on leaves sprayed with P. s. pv. tomato. Tomato mosaic virus, Tomato aspermy virus, and Cucumber mosaic virus systemically infected Micro-Tom, which developed symptoms characteristic of other cultivars of tomato after infection with the respective virus. These results indicated that Micro-Tom was generally susceptible to most of the important tomato pathogens and developed typical symptoms, whereas certain pathogens were restricted by either hypersensitive resistance or nonhost resistance on Micro-Tom. Therefore, an assortment of Micro-Tom–pathogen systems should provide excellent models for studying the mechanism of susceptible and resistant interactions between plants and pathogens.  相似文献

During the period 2006–2011, Pseudomonas syringae pv. syringae caused a bacterial inflorescence rot (BIR) epidemic in an Australian cool climate viticultural region. Molecular multilocus sequence typing of ‘housekeeping’ genes (MLST), biochemical testing and analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA) were used to characterize the genotypes and phenotypes of P. syringae pv. syringae grapevine isolates. Comparison of the MLST data with exemplars of phylogroups available at PAMDB demonstrated that the BIR isolates formed a new clade within P. syringae pv. syringae phylogroup 2 (PG02): putatively designated PG02f. Analysis of the MLST and phenotypic data by AMOVA demonstrated some genetic differences between the BIR isolates and the general vineyard P. syringae pv. syringae population. Isolates positive for syringopeptin, syringomycin and tyrosinase, tobacco leaf hypersensitivity reaction (HR), ampicillin resistance and grapevine leaf pathogenicity were genetically distinct from those negative for these factors. This study has shown that, generally, the core genome of P. syringae pv. syringae is only weakly associated with the virulence-associated traits. As the new phylogroup PG02f consists of the epidemic BIR isolates and nonpathogenic grapevine isolates, these genetically similar isolates differ greatly in pathogenicity and most of the other tested phenotypic traits. However, within the PG02f group, tobacco leaf HR and presence of sylC (the gene for phytotoxin syringolin A) are associated with the BIR and bacterial leaf spot (BLS) isolates, and negative for the nonpathogens, indicating that these two virulence factors may be associated with vineyard pathogenicity within the new Australian phylogroup.  相似文献

A collection of Pseudomonas syringae and viridiflava isolates was established between 1993 and 2002 from diseased organs sampled from 36 pear, plum and cherry orchards in Belgium. Among the 356 isolates investigated in this study, phytotoxin, siderophore and classical microbiology tests, as well as the genetical methods REP-, ERIC- and BOX- (collectively, rep-) and IS50-PCR, enabled identification to be made of 280 isolates as P. syringae pv. syringae (Pss), 41 isolates as P. syringae pv. morsprunorum (Psm) race 1, 12 isolates as Psm race 2, three isolates as P. viridiflava and 20 isolates as unclassified P. syringae. The rep-PCR methods, particularly BOX-PCR, proved to be useful for identifying the Psm race 1 and Psm race 2 isolates. The latter race was frequent on sour cherry in Belgium. Combined genetic results confirmed homogeneities in the pvs avii, and morsprunorum race 1 and race 2 and high diversity in the pv. syringae. In the pv. syringae, homogeneous genetic groups consistently found on the same hosts (pear, cherry or plum) were observed. Pathogenicity on lilac was sometimes variable among Pss isolates from the same genetic group; also, some Psm race 2 and unclassified P. syringae isolates were pathogenic to lilac. In the BOX analyses, four patterns included 100% of the toxic lipodepsipeptide (TLP)-producing Pss isolates pathogenic to lilac. Many TLP-producing Pss isolates non-pathogenic to lilac and the TLP-non-producing Pss isolates were classified differently. Pseudomonas syringae isolates that differed from known fruit pathogens were observed in pear, sour cherry and plum orchards in Belgium.  相似文献

Two stable hybridoma clones secreting antibodies specific for three pathovars of Pseudomonas syringae were obtained from a fusion of murine myeloma cells with spleen cells of BALB/c mouse immunized with P. syringae pv. savastanoi. Undiluted hybridoma culture medium reacted strongly in indirect ELISA tests with 20 strains of pv. savastanoi, 10 strains of pv. tomato, and 3 strains of pv. papulans. There were no reactions with 23 (of 24) strains of pv. glycinea, three strains each of pvs pisi and tabaci, two strains of pv. tagetis and one each of pvs lachrymans and aptata. Hybridomas also reacted positively with six of 16 strains of pv. syringae and with one of three strains of pv. phaseolicola.  相似文献

The development of a rapid detection method for Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris (Xcc) in crucifer seeds and plants is essential for high-throughput certification purposes. Here we describe a diagnostic protocol for the identification/detection of Xcc by PCR amplification of fragments from the pathogenicity-associated gene hrcC. Under stringent conditions of amplification, a PCR product of 519 bp from hrcC was obtained from a collection of 46 isolates of Xcc, with the exception of two isolates from radish. No amplicons were obtained from 39 pure cultures of the phytopathogenic bacteria Xanthomonas campestris pv. cerealicola, X. campestris pv. juglandis, X. campestris pv. pelargonii, X. campestris pv. vitians, X. arboricola pv. pruni, X. axonopodis pv. phaseoli, X. axonopodis pv. vesicatoria, X. vesicatoria, Pseudomonas syringae pv. phaseolicola, P. syringae pv. syringae, P. syringae pv. tomato, P. fluorescens, P. marginalis, Pectobacterium atrosepticum, P. carotovorum subsp. carotovorum. In addition, PCR reactions were negative for fifty unidentified environmental isolates purified from the surface of crucifers. The PCR fragment was obtained from four strains previously classified as X. campestris pv. aberrans, X. campestris pv. armorociae, X. campestris pv. barbarae and X. campestris pv. incanae using pathogenicity assays. Our PCR protocol specifically detected Xcc in inoculated leaves, seeds and naturally infected leaves of crucifers.  相似文献

A survey of wild cherry (Prunus avium) woodland plantations and nurseries was carried out in 2000/01. Trees with symptoms of bacterial canker were found in 20 of the 24 plantations visited and in three of seven nurseries. Fifty-four Pseudomonas syringae isolates from wild cherry together with 22 representative isolates from sweet cherry and 13 isolates from other Prunus spp., pear and lilac were characterised by physiological, biochemical, serological and pathogenicity tests. Isolates from wild cherry were predominantly P. syringae pv. syringae (Pss), but P. syringae pv. morsprunorum (Psm) races 1 and 2 were also found. Physiological and biochemical tests discriminated Psm races 1 and 2 from other P. syringae isolates. Agglutination and indirect-enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay tests with three different antisera showed that Psm race 1 and race 2 were very uniform and indicated high variability amongst other P. syringae isolates. However, pathogenic Pss isolates could not be distinguished from non-pathogenic isolates of P. syringae on the basis of physiological, biochemical or serological tests. Pathogenicity tests on rooted lilac plants and on micropropagated plantlets of lilac and two wild cherry clones differentiated Pss and Psm isolates and demonstrated a range of aggressiveness amongst Pss isolates. Serological tests could be used as an alternative to the classical physiological and biochemical tests to increase the speed of detection and discrimination of isolates, but pathogenicity tests are still necessary to discriminate the pathogenic Pss isolates.  相似文献
