Abstract
In 2010, the outbreak of a disease with symptoms similar to bacterial brown stripe was observed in rice seedlings planted in a perlite culture system in China. The causal bacterium was identified as Acidovorax avenae subsp. avenae based on its biochemical and physiological characteristics, cellular fatty acid composition, Biolog data, specific PCR detection and 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis. The bacterial isolates caused similar symptoms after inoculation of rice seedlings. This report is the first of bacterial brown stripe of rice in a soil-less culture system caused by A. avenae subsp. avenae in China.
