Abstract

Pseudomonas syringae pv. syringae, that can cause disease in citrus and stone fruit production areas, is a destructive plant pathogenic bacterial disease agent worldwide. While the pathogen causes citrus blast disease on citrus cultivars, it is known as bacterial cancer disease on stone fruits. Control of the disease is limited due to the lack of resistant cultivars through the world. In this study, susceptibility responses of 28 different citrus and stone fruit cultivars against Pseudomonas syringae pv. syringae were determined. For this purpose, five Citrus sinensis, six Citrus reticulata, three Citrus limon, two Citrus paradisi, three Prunus persica nucipersica, three Prunus persica, three Prunus domestic and three Prunus armeniaca cultivars were used. In the experiments, disease ratios of citrus and stone fruit cultivars varied between 2.55–7.12% and between 3.39–51.01%, respectively. Among 28 tested cultivars, 25% of the cultivars were susceptible (cvs. Cara Cara, V. Midknight, Nova, Okitsu, Meyer, Riored and Early Fresh), 46.43% of the cultivars were moderately susceptible (cvs. Fukumoto, Lane late, Navelina, Robinson, W. Murcott, Clausellina Eureka, Flariba (N2-17), Gartella, Garofa (N2-92), Honey Blush, Flored and Black Amber), 10.71% were lightly susceptible (cvs. Ortanique, Black Beauty and Magador) and 17.86% were minimally susceptible (cvs. Lisbon, Henderson, Black Diamond, Colorado and Ninfa) to Pseudomonas syringae pv. syringae. All tested citrus and stone fruit cultivars were classified between minimally susceptible and susceptible. The minimally susceptible citrus and stone fruit varieties should be preferred in newly planted orchards.

Zusammenfassung

Pseudomonas syringae pv. syringae, der in Zitrusfrucht- und Steinobstanbaugebieten Krankheiten verursachen kann, ist weltweit ein zerstörerischer pflanzenpathogener bakterieller Krankheitserreger. Während der Erreger bei Zitrusfrüchten die Citrus-Blast-Krankheit verursacht, ist er bei Steinobst als bakterielle Krebserkrankung bekannt. Die Bekämpfung der Krankheit ist aufgrund des Mangels an resistenten Sorten in der ganzen Welt begrenzt. In dieser Studie wurde die Anfälligkeit von 28 verschiedenen Zitrus- und Steinobstsorten gegenüber Pseudomonas syringae pv. syringae bestimmt. Zu diesem Zweck wurden fünf Citrus sinensis-, sechs Citrus reticulata-, drei Citrus limon-, zwei Citrus paradisi-, drei Prunus persica nucipersica-, drei Prunus persica-, drei Prunus domestic- und drei Prunus armeniaca-Sorten verwendet. In den Versuchen variierten die Krankheitsquoten der Zitrus- und Steinobstsorten zwischen 2,55–7,12 % bzw. zwischen 3,39–51,01 %. Von den 28 getesteten Sorten waren 25 % anfällig (cvs. Cara cara, V. Midknight, Nova, Okitsu, Meyer, Riored and Early Fresh), 46,43 % waren mäßig anfällig (cvs. Fukumoto, Lane late, Navelina, Robinson, W. Murcott, Clausellina Eureka, Flariba (N2-17), Gartella, Garofa (N2-92), Honey Blush, Flored, Black Amber), 10,71 % waren leicht anfällig (cvs. Black Beauty, Magador und Ortanique) und 17,86 % waren minimal anfällig (cvs. Lisbon, Henderson, Black Diamond, Colorado und Ninfa) für Pseudomonas syringae pv. syringae. Alle getesteten Zitrus- und Steinobstsorten wurden zwischen minimal anfällig und anfällig eingestuft. Die minimal anfälligen Zitrus- und Steinobstsorten sollten in neu angelegten Obstplantagen bevorzugt werden.
