Abstract

Ground cherry (Physalis pubescens) is widely cultivated in Northeast China as one of its popular fruits. In the summer of 2017, suspected bacterial disease symptoms consisting of water-soaked spots and brown interveinal necrotic lesions with chlorotic margins were observed on ground cherry leaves in a field of Hailun County in Northeast China. From infected leaves, bacteria with pale-yellow, mucoid, domed circular colonies were repeatedly isolated. Based on biochemical tests and genetic characterizations of hrpB and concatenated four housekeeping genes (lepA-gyrB-gapA-gltA), the bacteria isolates obtained in this study were identified as Xanthomonas euvesicatoria pv. euvesicatoria. Pathogenicity of these isolates was confirmed on ground cherry, tomato and pepper seedlings by artificial inoculation. It was further confirmed that none of the related pathogens X. vesicatoria, X. gardneri or X. euvesicatoria pv. perforans were detected by species-specific PCR in field samples. To our knowledge, this is the first report of X. euvesicatoria pv. euvesicatoria causing bacterial spot of ground cherry in China.
