In recent years, the possibility of developing numerous plantlets of many plant species in vitro has been realized. Termed plant tissue culture, this method of plant propagation has not been without problems when employed in commercial practice. One problem of major consequence has been bacterial contamination, usually becoming evident during later stages of tissue culture increase and multipli...

Abstract Background Several chemical bactericides were applied for controlling soft rot bacteria, Pectobacterium carotovorum subsp. , which causes the destructive disease to many economically important vegetables, but because of their toxic hazards on human and environment became limit. The biocontrol was control plant pathogens. Therefore, this work is aimed study antagonistic activity bacteri...

Dickeya solani and Pectobacterium carotovorum subsp. brasiliense are recently established species of bacterial plant pathogens causing black leg and soft rot of many vegetables and ornamental plants. Pseudomonas sp. strain P482 inhibits the growth of these pathogens, a desired trait considering the limited measures to combat these diseases. In this study, we determined the genetic background of...
