Comparative genomic and transcriptome analyses of two Pectobacterium brasiliense strains revealed distinct virulence determinants and phenotypic features [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology
Potato soft rot caused by Pectobacterium spp. are devastating diseases of potato which cause severe economic losses worldwide. Pectobacterium brasiliense is considered as one of the most virulent species.

Survival of potato-blackleg and soft-rot bacteria

California Agriculture, 1977
Potato blackleg and soft-rot of tubers, caused by Erwinici carotovora var. carotovora and E. carotovora var. atroseptica, respectively, continue to cause mild to severe field, shipping, and storage losses of potatoes in California.

Blackleg of potato is a dangerous disease for national potato growing [PDF]

Agrarian science, 2019
Blackleg of potato is recognized as a dangerous disease based on the developed Pest Risk Analysis for Dickeya dianthicola and by obtaining the status of Regulated Non-Quarantine Pests for these causative agents on seed potatoes in EU. The disease is caused by the complex of bacteria from genera Dickeya and Pectobacterium.

Exploring rhizosphere and potato microbiome as potential antagonist to control blackleg and potato soft rot diseases in Morocco

Egyptian Journal of Biological Pest Control, 2021
Background Blackleg and tuber soft rot are among the most important potato diseases caused by the bacteria belonging to the genera Pectobacterium. This pathogen causes significant economic losses each year.

PREVALENCE OF POTATO BLACKLEG AND SOFT ROT IN GEORGIA

Journal of Applied Biological Sciences, 2023
Potato is an important crop in Georgia, but the average yields are considerably low (12 t/ha). One of the significant reasons for this is bacterial diseases.  During 2020-2021, 73 samples of diseased potato tubers and stems were collected from fields and storage facilities, in different locations in Georgia.

Co-occurrence of latent Dickeya and Pectobacterium species in potato seed tuber samples from northern Finland

Agricultural and Food Science, 2021
Recent methodological developments have uncovered the etiological diversity of the potato blackleg and soft rot Pectobacteriaceae. At least five species in the genera Dickeya and Pectobacterium have been confirmed to cause blackleg on potatoes in Finland.

Antagonistic activity of endophytic actinobacteria from native potatoes (Solanum tuberosum subsp. tuberosum L.) against Pectobacterium carotovorum subsp. carotovorum and Pectobacterium atrosepticum

BMC Microbiology, 2021
Background The native potatoes (Solanum tuberosum subsp. tuberosum L.) grown in Chile (Chiloé) represent a new, unexplored source of endophytes to find potential biological control agents for the prevention of bacterial diseases, like blackleg and soft ...

T4-related bacteriophage LIMEstone isolates for the control of soft rot on potato caused by 'Dickeya solani'. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
The bacterium 'Dickeya solani', an aggressive biovar 3 variant of Dickeya dianthicola, causes rotting and blackleg in potato. To control this pathogen using bacteriophage therapy, we isolated and characterized two closely related and specific ...
