Bakteriyel yumuşak çürüklük hastalığına neden olan Pectobacterium polaris’in konukçu aralığının belirlenmesi

Aims: Pectobacterium polaris is a novel species of taxa, which was reported in different regions the world and has been recently detected Turkey. In this study, order to determine host range species, two representative strains were evaluated terms their pathogenicity on several plants, it aimed plant under risk pathogen.Methods Results: P. NV3 NV19, isolated from potato plants showing blackleg symptoms Nevşehir province during vegetation period 2019, used for artificial inoculation. Bacterial suspension both inoculated by injecting into red cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, onion, garlic, carrot, tomato, pepper, eggplant, cucumber, squash, melon, watermelon, lettuce, sunflower sugar beet plants. The appearance disease indicated that caused all artificially. Viable bacterial colonies re-isolated infected tissue.Conclusions: are very destructive pathogens cause soft rot numerous species. It determined polaris, Turkey as new emerging pathogen within wide range. Disease protection precautions should be taken where first time, especially transmission prevented clean production areas tubers.Significance Impact Study: All tested potential hosts polaris. status these have economic importance Turkey, time with study
