Studies in bacteriosis: I. “Blackleg” of the potato [PDF]

The Journal of Agricultural Science, 1917
The organism which produces “Blackleg” of the potato in Lancashire is B. atrosepticus (van Hall).It is in all respects identical with the organism responsible for this disease in Ireland and described by Pethybridge and Murphy under the name B. melanogenes.

Concept Note: Toward Metagenomic Sequencing for Rapid, Sensitive, and Accurate Detection of Bacterial Pathogens in Potato Seed Production

PhytoFrontiers, 2023
Disease-free planting stocks and formal certification systems are critical for the profitable production of vegetatively propagated crops. Propagation through seed tubers is the standard and preferred process for potato production.

Effect of potato tuber greening on blackleg development by Dickeya solani and Pectobacterium brasiliense [PDF]

Journal of Plant Protection Research
Potato (Solanum tuberosum) is a globally important crop, but its production is often threatened by pectinolytic bacteria of genus Pectobacterium and Dickeya, including Pectobacte­rium brasiliense (Pcb), and Dickeya solani (Ds), which cause two diseases ...

Emerging potato pathogens affecting food security in southern Africa: Recent research

South African Journal of Science, 2020
Potato is a staple crop that contributes to food security and poverty alleviation in developing nations. Despite this, yields in developing nations are often unsustainably low, due to various biotic and abiotic factors that negatively affect production ...

Pathogenicity and Relative Abundance of Dickeya and Pectobacterium Species in Switzerland: An Epidemiological Dichotomy

Microorganisms, 2021
Pectobacterium and Dickeya species are the causal agents of blackleg and soft rot diseases in potatoes. The main pathogenic species identified so far on potatoes are Dickeya dianthicola, Dickeya solani, Pectobacterium atrosepticum, Pectobacterium ...

Disruption of the metC Gene Affects Methionine Biosynthesis in Pectobacterium carotovorum subsp. carotovorum Pcc21 and Reduces Soft-Rot Disease [PDF]

The Plant Pathology Journal, 2023
Plant pathogenic Pectobacterium species cause severe soft rot/blackleg diseases in many economically important crops worldwide. Pectobacterium utilizes plant cell wall degrading enzymes (PCWDEs) as the main virulence determinants for its pathogenicity ...

European Population of Pectobacterium punjabense: Genomic Diversity, Tuber Maceration Capacity and a Detection Tool for This Rarely Occurring Potato Pathogen

Microorganisms, 2021
Enterobacteria belonging to the Pectobacterium and Dickeya genera are responsible for soft rot and blackleg diseases occurring in many crops around the world. Since 2016, the number of described species has more than doubled.

Pectobacterium atrosepticum and Pectobacterium carotovorum harbor distinct, independently acquired integrative and conjugative elements encoding coronafacic acid that enhance virulence on potato stems

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016
Integrative and conjugative elements (ICEs) play a central role in the evolution of bacterial virulence, their transmission between bacteria often leading to the acquisition of virulence factors that alter host range or aggressiveness.

Dickeya dianthicola Is Not Vectored by Two Common Insect Pests of Potato

PhytoFrontiers, 2021
Dickeya dianthicola (Samson) is an important pathogen causing blackleg disease of potato. Previous work suggested that insects might vector species of Pectobacteriaceae between plants but no conclusive work has confirmed this.
