“Purple top” is an emerging disease that affects solanaceous crops, reported mainly on Solanum tuberosum (potato). Additionally, Bactericera cockerelli has been as the insect vector of Candidatus Liberibacter solanacearum (CaLso), a pathogen associated with this disease. However, information about in Andean fruit species such betaceum (tree tomato), S. quitoense (naranjilla) and Physalis peruvi...

Biological control agents (BCAs) from different microbial taxa are increasingly used to control bacterial wilt caused by Ralstonia solanacearum. However, a quantitative research synthesis has not been conducted on the role of BCAs in disease suppression. Therefore, the present study aimed to meta-analyze the impacts of BCAs on both Ralstonia wilt disease suppression and plant (host) growth prom...

A P2-like phage ϕRSY1 infecting the phytopathogen Ralstonia solanacearum was isolated and characterized. The 40-kb genome of ϕRSY1 showed high sequence similarity to the Ralstonia phage ϕRSA1 and the GMI1000 prophage ϕRSX. The major genomic differences between these phages were the different orientation of the int gene and the gene content close to the cosL. ϕRSY1 and ϕRSX use a 15-base 3' port...

Ralstonia solanacearum is the causal agent of bacterial wilt, one of the most destructive bacterial plant diseases. We present the whole-genome sequence of the strain P673 (phylotype IIB, sequevar 4). This strain is capable of producing disease in tomato plants at low temperatures. P673 has 311 unique genes.

○ Background Production of organic ginger Zingiber officinale Roscoe, Japanese variety, is subject to serious economic loss from several soil borne pests. The plant parasitic root-knot nematode (RKN) Meloidogyne incognita is a persistent pest for ginger production in soils worldwide. Pathogenic bacteria Ralstonia solanacearum, which causes “bacterial wilt” of ginger, has become a serious threat...

salt stress negatively impacts crops yield throughout the world. nine varieties of potato (solanum tuberosum l.) were screened for salt stress tolerance by measuring in-vitro growth of the aerial plant parts, as well as roots. salt stress was evaluated by adding 25, 50, 75, 100, 125, 150 and 200 mm of nacl to murashige- skoog (ms) medium and compared to ms medium without nacl. plant length and ...

acid extract of solanum tuberosum was tested as corrosion inhibitor for mild steel in 1 m hcl and h2so4 media using different techniques: weight loss (in different temperatures viz., 303, 313 and 323 k), potentiodynamic polarization, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (eis) and sem techniques. the studies reveal that the plant extract act as good inhibitors in both the acid media and better...
