Bacterial canker is one of the most important diseases of stone fruit trees in various locations of Kurdistan province, Iran. Genetic diversity and evolutionary relationships among 20 fluorescent pseudomonads isolated from stone fruit trees with symptoms similar to bacterial canker were investigated using a polyphasic approach by means of phenotypic characterizations, repetitive PCR using the REP and ERIC primers and multilocus sequence typing (MLST) of four housekeeping genes (gapA, rpoD, gyrB and gltA). The pathogenicity of strains was carried out under greenhouse conditions. Twelve strains produced an expected amplified DNA fragment of about 752-bp which indicated the presence of the syrB gene. Based on MLST, these strains belonged to P. syringae species complex and included in the genomospecies 1, phylogroup 2b and 2d. Phylogenetic analysis of the other eight fluorescent pseudomonad strains by using gyrB and rpoD sequences allowed the identification of strains into P. fluorescens, P. putida and P. lutea groups. Unweighted pair group method analysis (UPGMA) of genomic fingerprints obtained by rep-PCR revealed 17 different patterns which grouped P. syringae strains into three clusters clearly separated from other fluorescent pseudomonads. MLST confirmed the genetic variability among strains obtained by rep-PCR. Grouping identified of P. syringae strains by both rep-PCR and MLST was related to geographic locations of strains.  相似文献

To investigate the variability of Brenneria nigrifluens, the casual agent of shallow bark canker of Persian walnut (Juglans regia L.), a collection of 24 strains isolated from five geographic regions, was analyzed by means of three marker systems, repetitive polymerase chain reaction (rep-PCR), insertion sequence (IS50)-PCR and random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD). Cluster analysis was performed using UPGMA. Strains were differentiated into 6 groups at about 80% similarity according to geographic regions. This is possibly due to cultivation of Persian walnut being mainly based on the ecotype and/or local seedlings that have become adapted to particular environments and so have allowed selection of different B. nigrifluens populations. The results of this study showed that the four rep-PCR primers produced 75 products of which 73.3% were polymorphic, eight RAPD primers produced 146 fragments of which 74.6% were polymorphic and IS50 produced 32 fragments of which 93.75% were polymorphic. The usefulness of each system was examined in terms of polymorphism information content (PIC) and marker index (MI). The highest MI was observed for IS50-PCR (21.11) followed by RAPD (7.85), and rep-PCR (6.92). The Mantel test identified significant correlation between the similarity coefficients calculated from them. Among the molecular markers tested, IS50-PCR appears to be a more suitable marker for fingerprinting and assessing genetic relationships among B. nigrifluens strains. This is the first study on genetic diversity of B. nigrifluens. The results can have a bearing on the choice of disease management strategies.  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

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

A repetitive sequence-based (rep)-polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR)-PCR were used to molecular type Pseudomonas syringae pv. syringae (PSS) strains isolated from barley and wheat plants with bacterial black node symptoms grown in 22 different locations and six different seed-production districts in Japan. Eighteen genomic fingerprinting (GF) genotypes were obtained from the combined results of BOX-, REP-, and GTG5-PCR, indicating that the PSS population in Japan has high genetic diversity. The result based on logistic regression indicated that the population of GF genotype A was significantly related to a seed-producing district and that the epidemic of PSS strains in fields originated mainly from seed infection. This study will be applicable to future studies of the molecular epidemiology of bacterial plant diseases that have multiple infection routes.  相似文献

Infection of fruit trees by Pseudomonas syringae is a potentially serious problem that may limit the establishment and sustained productivity of pome and stone fruit orchards in Serbia. To estimate possible diversity of Pseudomonas syringae fruit trees strains, we collected a set of strains in several areas of Serbia. The samples were taken from infected orchards with raspberry, plum, cherry, sour cherry, peach, pear and apple trees. Genetic diversity of P. syringae strains isolated from fruit trees was determined by using SpeI macrorestriction analysis of genomic DNAs by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) and REP-PCR. Molecular analysis showed that most of isolates had unique profiles, with the exception of isolates from plum and cherry that displayed profiles identical to each other and similar to P. syringae pv. morsprunorum. The study presented here clearly demonstrates the discriminative power of molecular techniques in enabling a detailed analysis of the genetic variations between strains of P. syringae from different pome and stone fruit hosts in Serbia.  相似文献

Northern Iran has one of the largest and most diverse populations of cultivated crucifers in Iran. Symptoms of black rot disease were observed in 40 % of fields. To assess the genetic diversity of Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris (Xcc) strains, associated with black rot disease, 40 strains were isolated from infected samples of crucifers such as cabbage, radish, cauliflower, turnip and kohlrabi, and were collected from different geographic regions of northern Iran including West and East Azarbayjan and Ardabil provinces. Bacterial strains were characterized by their morphological, biochemical and physiological features and pathogenicity tests. Four races were found in northern Iran (1, 4, 5 and 6) and the majority of the tested strains belonged to either race 4 (45 %) or race 6 (20 %). To examine the distribution of dispersed repetitive DNA, Enterobacterial Repetitive Intergenic Consensus (ERIC), BOX, Repetitive Extragenic Palindromic (REP) and random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) sequences in the genome of Xcc using conserved primers. The different markers produced characteristic banding patterns and the similarity matrices from binary banding data was derived with the similarity for qualitative data program (SIMQUAL). On the basis of the fingerprint patterns generated by the combination data set of both rep-PCR and RAPD, the Xcc strains were differentiated into seven clusters (A–G) at 76 % similarity level. The geographical origin of the Iranian strains does not seem to be correlated with the RAPD and rep-PCR clusters. The clusters seem to be more related to the race of the strains. This is the first study on genetic diversity of Xcc strains inducing black rot disease of crucifers in Iran.  相似文献

Xanthomonas arboricola pv. pruni (Xap) strains collected from peach orchards in six areas in Japan were fingerprinted by inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR)-polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and repetitive sequence-based (rep)-PCR. Although 148 strains were differentiated into four fingerprint groups (A–D), the genetic diversity among the Xap population was low. The pathogenicity of strains belonging to different fingerprinting groups was very similar. These results show that the causal agent of bacterial spot on peach in Japan is genetically nearly homogeneous.  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 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

Bacterial leaf streak (BLS), caused by Xanthomonas translucens pv. undulosa, has become more prevalent recently in North Dakota and neighboring states. From five locations in North Dakota, 226 strains of X. translucens pv. undulosa were collected and evaluated for pathogenicity and then selected strains were inoculated on a set of 12 wheat cultivars and other cereal hosts. The genetic diversity of all strains was determined using repetitive sequence-based polymerase chain reaction (rep-PCR) and insertion sequence-based (IS)-PCR. Bacterial strains were pathogenic on wheat and barley but symptom severity was greatest on wheat. Strains varied greatly in aggressiveness, and wheat cultivars also showed differential responses to several strains. The 16S ribosomal DNA sequences of the strains were identical, and distinct from those of the other Xanthomonas pathovars. Combined rep-PCR and IS-PCR data produced 213 haplotypes. Similar haplotypes were detected in more than one location. Although diversity was greatest (≈92%) among individuals within a location, statistically significant (P ≤ 0.001 or 0.05) genetic differentiation among locations was estimated, indicating geographic differentiation between pathogen populations. The results of this study provide information on the pathogen diversity in North Dakota, which will be useful to better identify and characterize resistant germplasm.  相似文献

Of thirty fluorescent Pseudomonas isolates originating from symptomatic tissues of sweet (Prunus avium) and sour cherry (Prunus cerasus), plum (Prunus domestica), peach (Prunus persica) and apricot (Prunus armeniaca), 23 were identified as P. syringae using LOPAT tests. Further characterization of those isolates by GATTa and L-lactate utilization tests showed that 10 of them belonged to race 1, six to race 2 of P. syringae pv. morsprunorum (Psm) and six other isolates were identified as pathovar syringae (Pss). One isolate (791) was determined as atypical. Phenotypic determination and genetic analysis of studied isolates for toxin production revealed that isolates of Pss produced syringomycin, 3 Psm race 1 produced coronatine and 6 Psm race 2 produced yersiniabactin. Genetic diversity of all isolates was evaluated with the PCR melting profile (PCR MP) method. A dendrogram constructed with PCR MP patterns showed positive correlation with phenotypically distinguished pathovars. Isolates of Psm races 1 and 2 formed distinct, tight clusters, whereas Pss isolates were more heterogeneous. Isolate 791 was placed within Pss isolates. Bacteria identified as Pss caused more severe symptoms on immature cherry fruits compared to Psm, which corresponded to determined pathovars and races.  相似文献

Bacterial canker is a major disease of Prunus avium (cherry), Prunus domestica (plum) and other stone fruits. It is caused by pathovars within the Pseudomonas syringae species complex including P. syringae pv. morsprunorum (Psm) race 1 (R1), Psm race 2 (R2) and P. syringae pv. syringae (Pss). Psm R1 and Psm R2 were originally designated as the same pathovar; however, phylogenetic analysis revealed them to be distantly related, falling into phylogroups 3 and 1, respectively. This study characterized the pathogenicity of 18 newly genome‐sequenced P. syringae strains on cherry and plum, in the field and laboratory. The field experiment confirmed that the cherry cultivar Merton Glory exhibited a broad resistance to all clades. Psm R1 contained strains with differential specificity on cherry and plum. The ability of tractable laboratory‐based assays to reproduce assessments on whole trees was examined. Good correlations were achieved with assays using cut shoots or leaves, although only the cut shoot assay was able to reliably discriminate cultivar differences seen in the field. Measuring bacterial multiplication in detached leaves differentiated pathogens from nonpathogens and was therefore suitable for routine testing. In cherry leaves, symptom appearance discriminated Psm races from nonpathogens, which triggered a hypersensitive reaction. Pathogenic strains of Pss rapidly induced disease lesions in all tissues and exhibited a more necrotrophic lifestyle than hemibiotrophic Psm. This in‐depth study of pathogenic interactions, identification of host resistance and optimization of laboratory assays provides a framework for future genetic dissection of host–pathogen interactions in the canker disease.  相似文献

A necrotic leaf disease of leek (Allium ampeloprasum Porrum Group) is reported in Australia for the first time. The fluorescent pseudomonad consistently associated with diseased tissue was identified as Pseudomonas syringae by LOPAT tests (+,−,−,−,+), carbon utilisation, bean and lemon inoculations and fatty acid methyl ester analysis. It was confirmed as P. syringae pv. porri by pathogenicity to leeks, bulb onions, spring onions, shallots and garlic, and by genetic analysis using 16S rDNA PCR, REP, ERIC and BOX PCR, and IS50 PCR. Comparison with reference strains of pv. porri from other countries showed similarity to known strains of pv. porri. The Australian leek strains were generally uniform in their biochemical reactions although three strains tested varied in their pathogenicity to other Allium spp. and varied from published data. All Australian strains shared the same genetic profile with strains from New Zealand, France and California. However, Japanese strains from leek and onion were distinct from the Australian strains and those from New Zealand, France and California. Data strongly support the hypothesis that the pathogen is seed-borne.  相似文献

Pseudomonas syringae pv. aptata is the causal agent of bacterial leaf spot disease of sugar beet (Beta vulgaris). During 2013, 250 samples were collected from leaf lesions with typical symptoms of bacterial leaf spot in commercial fields of sugar beet in Serbia, and 104 isolates of P. syringae pv. aptata were obtained. Identification and characterization was performed using biochemical, molecular and pathogenicity tests. Identification included LOPAT tests and positive reactions using primers Papt2F and Papt1R specific for P. syringae pv. aptata. Repetitive (rep) sequence‐based PCR typing with ERIC, REP and BOX primers revealed high genetic variability among isolates and distinguished 25 groups of different fingerprinting profiles. Pulse‐field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) and multilocus sequence analysis (MLSA) of representative isolates showed higher genetic variability than in rep‐PCR analysis and distinguished three and four major genetic clusters, respectively. A pathogenicity test performed with 25 representative isolates on four cultivars of sugar beet confirmed the occurrence of leaf spot disease and showed correlation between the most aggressive isolates and the genetic clusters obtained in MLSA. All these findings point to the existence of several lines of P. syringae pv. aptata infection in Serbia that are genetically and pathologically different.  相似文献

Alfalfa (Medicago sativa), the world’s most influential forage crop, is infected by many diseases such as alfalfa bacterial wilt disease. The causal agent of bacterial crown and root rot and wilt disease is Pseudomonas viridiflava, which is a substantial pathogen of alfalfa worldwide. This pathogen spreads through the xylem and under field conditions, plants show growth stunting, chlorosis and wilting symptoms not previously reported. In this study- the first on Pseudomonas viridiflava on alfalfa from Iran, we have investigated the pathogenicity and genetic diversity of Pseudomonas viridiflava in some parts of Iran. To survey the causal agent of the disease, symptomatic plants were collected from the main alfalfa growing area. Pathogenicity of the collected strains was confirmed on alfalfa plants under green-house conditions using a completely randomized design. Determination of bacterial strains was done based on standard bacteriological methods and PCR assay using specific primers. Effects of bacterial strains on wet weight, dry weight, stem length and root length of infected plants were measured and the data were analyzed by SAS software and Duncan’s assessment. The diversity of liquid cellular proteins of bacterial strains was examined on Polyacrylamide gel. To delineate of genetic diversity the total DNA was drawn out. Fourteen random primers were used in a RAPD test. To sketch the dendrogram, RAPD fragments were used to calculate genetic diversity with NTSYS software. This data showed pathogenicity and genetic diversity of Pseudomonas viridiflava in Iran.  相似文献

The relationships among strains of Pseudomonas syringae pv. glycinea (Psg) and Pseudomonas syringae pv. phaseolicola (Psp) isolated from kudzu ( Pueraria lobata) and bean ( Phaseolus vulgaris) were investigated. All strains tested showed a close phenotypic similarity, with the exception of the utilization of inositol and mannitol as well as the production of toxins. On this basis the strains could be divided into three groups. Group 1 consists of all strains of pathovar glycinea, group 2 includes all Psp strains isolated from kudzu, and all Psp strains isolated from bean belong to group 3. This grouping was also reflected in the genetic fingerprints using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) with primers that anneal to dispersed repetitive bacterial sequences (rep-PCR). The rep-PCR generated fingerprints were unique for each of the three groups. The strains of group 2, Psp strains isolated from kudzu, possess certain characteristics of group 1 (ethylene production) and group 2 (phaseolotoxin production). The Psp strains from kudzu can be clearly differentiated from Psp strains isolated from bean. They utilize mannitol, produce ethylene, and are strongly pathogenic to kudzu, bean, and soybean. The results obtained show that the Psp strains from kudzu should be separated from the pathovar phaseolicola and should represent their own pathovar.  相似文献

By applying A- and A*-type strains of Xanthomonas citri subsp. citri (Xcc) in a repetitive sequence-based polymerase chain reaction (rep-PCR), two DNA amplicons, one unique to each strain, were evaluated as a probe against the DNA of Xcc strains. Two pairs of primers derived from these amplicons were tested in a PCR analysis. The results confirmed that primers Ms+/Ms? are useful for differentiating A-type from A*-type strains of Xcc. Also, a multiplex PCR with both set of primers can be used to distinguish three groups in Xcc populations: A-type strains and two subgroups of A* strains including Iranian and Thai A* strains.  相似文献

The susceptibility of thirty-three pear cultivars and two pear rootstocks to four virulent strains of Pseudomonas syringae pv. syringae was evaluated by inoculating detached immature fruits and young leaves. The four strains were similarly virulent and did not show cultivar specificity although they were isolated from different pear cultivars and exhibited different biochemical profiles. The most frequently planted pear cultivars, Conference, Abate Fetel, General Leclerc, Williams, D. Comice, El Dorado, Alexandrine, B. Anjou, Passe Crassane and the rootstock OHxF 333 were susceptible to P. syringae pv. syringae. Maximal severity values were obtained on 'Preguystar' leaves (about 90%). The rootstock Winter Nelis was less susceptible. Results with immature fruit and detached leaf assays agreed with field observations on cultivar susceptibility to bacterial blast. However, the detached leaf test gave a more accurate prediction and has the advantages that symptoms develop quickly (48 h), and leaves are available for a longer period of time than fruits. This method is proposed as a rapid and reproducible screening system of cultivar susceptibility to bacterial blast of pear.  相似文献
