Abstract

Ralstonia solanacearum (Rs) strains in phylotypes I and IV isolated from potato in Japan were investigated for pathogenicity on potato, tomato, eggplant, Solanum integrifolium, tobacco, groundnut, and pumpkin. The strains were divided into 17 types based on differences in their pathogenicity on the tested plants. Particularly, the pathogenicity of most phylotype I strains on eggplant was distinctly different from that of the phylotype IV strains. When nine potato varieties (included two breeding lines) were inoculated with several Rs strains, phylotype IV strains were highly virulent on the breeding lines that are regarded as resistant to phylotype I strains.
