FIRST REPORT ON BACTERIAL LEAF BLIGHT OF STRAWBERRY CAUSED BY XANTHOMONASARBORICOLA PV. FRAGARIAE JANSE et al IN TURKEY

摘要

In the summer of 2004 two bacterial strains were isolated from strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa) cv Camarosa propagation plants produced in Turkey. Symptoms including necrotic leaf spots and lesions along leafmargins were incited on primarily symptomless strawberry plants by keeping them in a growing chamber at20 deg C and 100% relative humidity. On the basis of biochemical, physiological, serological and PCR tests thebacteria isolated were identified as Xanthomonas arboricola pv. fragariae This is the first report on the bacterialleaf blight pathogen X. arboricola pv. fragariae of strawberry in Turkey.
