Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((ASIH,volume 28))

Abstract

Clavibacter michiganensis subsp. sepedonicus (Cms) Davis et al causes ring rot of potatoes (Solanum tuberosum L.) and is responsible for financial losses resulted from yield and storage losses in ware and seed potatoes and disqualification of seeds crops (Nelson and Torfason 1974; Easton 1979; Sletten 1985; Lelliott 1988). Other plants reported as natural hosts of Cms include some weed species of Solanum (including S. dulcamara) (Lelliott 1988) and sugar beet (Bugbee et al 1987).
