bacterial wilt of eggplant

We believe that optimization of the root inoculation method will be required in future for efficient pathogenicity study. Even though tomato and eggplant are phyllogenetically close, there is significant difference in the germination processes of their seeds: germination of eggplant seeds takes more time than that of tomato seeds (Methods). Though eggplant is an important vegetable crop, and bacterial wilt is a serious disease of it, there has not been any report describing the virulence functions of R. sola- nacearum in this host plant. Differential expression of R. solanacearum virulence functions in laboratory and in plant environments is already known (Jacobs et al. Eggplant seedlings were inoculated by the F1C1 wild type, hrpB, hrpG or phcA mutants with saturated concentrations (109 CFU/mL). The limitation may be a reason for the use of only a few model host plants for this pathogen out of a large number of hosts. Plant Disease 75:398 – 401, Grimault V, Prior P (1994) Invasiveness of Pseudomonas solanacearum in tomato, eggplant and pepper: a comparative study. Inoculum of mCherry labelled hrpB mutant (TRS1017) and phcA mutant (TRS1018) of F1C1 were used for leaf inoculation of eggplant seedlings. 3). We anticipate, present study will stir more critical investigations on R. solanacearum virulence functions in association with eggplant which would immensely assist in understanding R. solanacearum host specific virulence behavior, in coming days. Symptoms. In this study, bacterial wilt‐resistant and wilt‐susceptible eggplants were inoculated with Ralstonia solanacearum and the ROS content was analysed. It may also be helpful for researchers interested in screening large number of disease resistant eggplant cultivars. Ralstonia solanacearum Bacterial wilt of tomato, pepper, eggplant and Irish potato caused by Ralstonia solanacearum1 (formerly called Pseudomonas solanacearum) is among the first diseases proved to be caused by a bacterial pathogen2. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves. Bacterial wilt (BW) caused by Ralstonia solanacearum is one of the most limiting factors in the production of eggplant in the entire NE region and also the rainy season crop in other parts of India. PubMed Central  From among 125 strains of fluorescent and 52 strains of nonfluorescent bacteria initially screened in the laboratory for their antibiosis towards the bacterial wilt pathogen, Pseudomonas solanacearum, strain Pfcp of Pseudomonas fluorescens and strains B33 and B36 of Bacillus spp., were chosen and evaluated further in greenhouse and field tests. Not logged in A premium quality hybrid. Figure S5. But in those seedlings the leaf-clip inoculation method was efficient to study R. solanacearum pathogenicity (Unpublished data). Eggplant ( Solanum melongena L.) (2n = 24), also known as brinjal or aubergine and popularly designated... 2. 2007;15:363–71. 2017). Figure S4. Taking reference sequence of GMI1000, primers were designed for partial amplification of hrpG homologue in F1C1 strain. (2017) was a GMI1000 derived deletion mutant. 2017). oryzae, the causal agent of bacterial leaf blight in rice, in leaves of grown-up host plant. The leaf-clip inoculation method used to study R. solanacearum pathogenicity in tomato seedlings in our earlier work and here in the eggplant seedlings, was inspired from the work of Kauffman et al. © 2020 BioMed Central Ltd unless otherwise stated. After 4 dpi, the infected seedlings were surface sterilized as described previously (Kumar et al. The symptoms mimic several other diseases, so it is important to make an accurate diagnosis. J Hortic Sci. 131-137 Bacillus spp. The hrpG mutant caused wilt only in ~ 5% whereas the phcA mutant inflicted ~ 80% wilting in the inoculated eggplant seedlings (Fig. Yang C-H, Ho G-D. Resistance and susceptibility of Arabidopsis thaliana to bacterial wilt caused by Ralstonia solanacearum. We further studied differential colonization of mCherry tagged hrpB and phcA mutants of R. solanacearum F1C1 strains in eggplant seedlings (Fig. Bacterial wilt (BW) caused by Ralstonia solanacearum is a serious disease affecting the production of Solanaceae species, including eggplant (Solanum melongena).However, few resistance genes have been identified in eggplant, and therefore the underlying mechanism of BW resistance remains unclear. 2018). It was distinct that eggplant seedlings were killed earlier than the tomato seedlings in the tube inoculated with F1C1 wild type strain. 1. Seedlings died at 4 dpi were examined by GUS staining. 1995; Yang and Ho 1998). Part of Bacterial wilt caused by Ralstonia solanacearum is one of the major diseases in Solanum species including cultivated Eggplant (Solanum melongena L.). However, few resistance genes have been identified in eggplant, and therefore the underlying mechanism of BW resistance remains unclear. Among 22 effective antagonistic isolates, 18 were Pseudomonas spp. Terms and Conditions, Google Scholar. At a bacterial concentration of 105 CFU/mL, number of seedlings died on 8 dpi was close to the number of seedlings died on 5 dpi for 107 CFU/mL. The parents and 16 hybrids were evaluated in the field for their fertility and resistance to bacterial wilt using a race 1, biovar 3 strain of R. solanacearum. GUS staining was observed along the shoot region of the seedlings suggesting that growth and migration of the bacteria occurred towards the root region from the inoculated site in the cotyledon leaves along with the shoot (Fig. No disease symptoms till 10 dpi could be observed when the eggplant seedlings were inoculated with non-pathogenic bacteria such as E. coli and P. putida (Additional file 1: Figure S1). Singh N, Phukan T, Sharma PL, Kabyashree K, Barman A, Kumar R, et al. Figure S1. CAS  The genome sequence of F1C1 strain also revealed presence of a prhG homologue (unpublished result). The transformation protocol used in R. solanacearum F1C1 was the same as described previously (Singh et al. To create mCherry marked hrpB and phcA mutant of F1C1, genomic DNA of TRS1012 and TRS1013 was used to naturally transform mCherry-marked F1C1, respectively (TRS1016). Pepper bacterial wilt is caused by the bacterial pathogen, Ralstonia solanacearum.It is the most destructive disease of many Solanaceous crops such as potatoes, tobacco, pepper, tomatoes and eggplant and is a significant source of crop loss worldwide. Similar pathogenicity magnitudes and disease progressions were observed for 109 and 107 CFU/mL. 2010;8:e1000280. Therefore, this mode of inoculation has the limitation to be recruited only in the cotyledon stage and can’t be done in grown-up stage of eggplant seedlings. First report of bacterial wilt caused by Ralstonia solanacearum on fig trees in China. This suggested that the leaf-clip inoculation method in eggplant seedlings was able to demonstrate marked variation among the three virulence deficient mutants. Eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) is an important solanaceous vegetable crop grown worldwide over tropics and subtropics.Bacterial wilt (caused by Ralstonia solanacearum) is one of the most serious diseases of the crop, especially in the humid tropics.The present investigation was carried out using 26 accessions of eggplant including wild relatives aiming to identify stable … Five accessions of eggplant and 12 wild accessions showed high and stable resistance to different bacterial wilt strains. Inoculum of P. putida and E. coli were prepared in a similar way except the growth temperature for E. coli was 37 °C. The best way to avoid bacterial wilt in eggplant is using disease-resistant varieties. It is already reported that root entry mechanism of the pathogen is complex (Tran et al. However, in the case of the leaf-clip inoculation, the pathogen is directly deposited at the cut end of the leaf and disease symptom appeared in the inoculated leaves soon after pathogenic colonization and growth. Other (wild) Solanum species can also be used. “ In addition to solanaceous vegetables, the bacterium can cause disease in a wide range of ornamentals,” Singh said. ... Eggplant: Israel, Italy, Japan, Netherlands and USA. TP performed and designed the experiments, analyzed the data, wrote the manuscript; KK performed the experiments, analyzed the data, wrote the manuscript; RS performed the experiments; PLS wrote the manuscript; NS wrote the manuscript; AB wrote the manuscript; BRJ performed the experiments; SKR designed the experiments, analyzed and interpreted the data and wrote the manuscript.

Unfortunately, Bacterial Wilt is very difficult to control. All data generated or analyzed during this study are included in this published article and its supplementary information files. Bacterial wilt of tomato/eggplant: The initial symptom is a wilting of the terminal leaves, which after 2 to 3 days becomes permanent when the whole plant wilts due to the active development of the disease. This result is different from the earlier study in tomato seedlings (Kumar et al. Scroll for More. 2000;30:205–10. A representative picture showing differential pathogenicity of R. solanacearum between eggplant and tomato seedlings by recruiting their seedlings in a single microfuge tube. The Kaplan-Meier survival curve has been plotted to indicate survival probabilities with respect to DPIs (Additional file 1: Figure S4). Article  J Gen Microbiol. Springer Nature. One of the difficulties in studying virulence of this bacterium in different host plants is the development of an easy and stable pathogenicity assay. Pathogenicity tests were performed twice for each isolate using a root‐dip inoculation method modified from Biles & Martyn (1989). Then the whole plants wilt and die suddenly. Isolation of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens S20 and its application in control of eggplant bacterial wilt. PhcA is a known global transcription regulator in R. solanacearum and has been described as the largest regulon of the pathogen, which is involved in the regulation of unusually a large number of genes (~ 30% genes in the genome) including important pathogenicity determinants such as exopolysaccharides, extracellular enzymes, motility and type III secretion system (Perrier et al. Pathogenomics of the Ralstonia solanacearum species complex. 1998;88:330–4. It was interesting for us because, in the case of tomato seedlings, some of the inoculated seedlings (~ 10%) did not exhibit the disease symptom (Kumar et al. Potato wilt bacterium mainly inhabits the roots, and enters the root system at points of injury caused by farm tools or equipment and soil pests. Further, difference between eggplant and tomato seedlings with regard to R. solanacearum infection was prominent in the case of phcA mutant. 2017). 5). The hrpB mutant was found to be non-pathogenic in eggplant seedlings like that in tomato seedlings. Bacterial wilt caused by Ralstonia solanacerum is one of the most important eggplant diseases in tropical and subtropical regions in the world. J Am Stat Assoc. Aim: To ascertain knowledge and adaptation strategies of eggplant (Solanum melongena) farmers to the effect of bacterial wilt disease in Nsukka Agricultural zone of Enugu state, Nigeria. 2018). 2006;2:e82. To further ascertain that the eggplant seedlings were more susceptible than tomato seedlings to R. solanacearum infection, we inoculated the seedlings with lower concentrations of the pathogen (104 and 105 CFU/mL), respectively. Plener L, Manfredi P, Valls M, Genin S. PrhG, a transcriptional regulator responding to growth conditions, is involved in the control of the type III secretion system regulon in Ralstonia solanacearum. Solanaceous crops and bacterial wilt interactions: overview & focus on genetics of eggplant resistance 1. Tomato and Arabidopsis plants are mainly used as model hosts to describe its pathogenicity functions at the molecular level (Vasse et al. We also tested the virulence of several global transcription regulator mutants of R. solanacearum including hrpB, hrpG and phcA in eggplant seedlings. A close comparison of R. solanacearum F1C1 pathogenicity between eggplant and tomato seedlings was made by keeping the two seedlings in a single microfuge tube. In all the pathogenicity experiments, 40 seedlings were inoculated in a set and each experiment was performed three times independently with two replicates. Therefore, its differential virulence behavior in the two hosts indicates that factors associated with PhcA may contribute differently towards the pathogen adaptation inside different hosts. At a titer of 104 CFU/mL, number of seedlings died was significantly lesser (~ 32%) and for 103 CFU/mL only a few seedlings were dead (< 10%). Though eggplant is an important vegetable crop, and bacterial wilt is a serious disease of it, there has not been any report describing the virulence functions of R. solanacearum in this host plant. 2018). PLoS Pathog. This was indeed found to be true in a recent study that described differential impact of hrpB and hrpG mutants on root growth of Arabidopsis thaliana (Lu et al. Commercial eggplant varieties with intermediate resistance to wilt are available. TP and KK are thankful to UGC, GoI for the BSR and the NET-JRF fellowships, respectively. 1993). The hrpB mutant was found to be non-pathogenic while hrpG was highly reduced for pathogenicity in both hosts (Fig. J Mycol Plant Pathol. Although, it is known that the natural mode of entry of this pathogen is through root regions of its host, looking at the severity of symptoms developed in the cotyledon stage of seedlings by leaf-clip inoculation, entry of R. solanacearum into its host through damaged epiphytic regions such as leaves or by other means in natural environments, can’t be eliminated. 2006). For inoculation with phcA mutant, eggplant seedlings developed disease while tomato seedlings were healthy in the same tube. This is in concordance with our earlier findings in tomato seedlings using the same leaf-clip inoculation procedure (Kumar et al. Similarly, for phcA mutant inoculation, disease aggressiveness was more in eggplant after 6 dpi than in tomato seedlings (P < 0.001; log-rank test). Bacterial wilt is caused by a soil-borne bacterium named Ralstonia solanacearum (formerly known as Pseudomonas solanacearum). If possible, avoid planting crops in land where bacterial wilt has occurred previously. Article  Coutinho TA, Roux J, Riedel K-H, Terblanche J, Wingfield MJ. Zuluaga AP, Solé M, Lu H, Góngora-Castillo E, Vaillancourt B, Coll N, et al. These pathogenicity assays are quite labor intensive and time consuming. Bacterial wilt caused by Ralstonia solanacearum is one of the major diseases in Solanum species including cultivated Eggplant (Solanum melongena L.). In addition, requirement of sufficient space for incubation of large number of inoculated plants in experiments such as screening for resistant cultivars and screening of R. solanacearum mutants poses limitation to these protocols. After publication of this article (Phukan et al. Bacterial wilt (BW) disease management in eggplant is difficult due to high survival rate of pathogen in soil and chemical application is not eco-friendly. Identifying Bacterial Wilt’s Damage Host Plants. melongenae. First report of bacterial wilt caused by Ralstonia solanacearum on eucalypts in South Africa. In this study, we have analyzed phylotype of bacterial wilt (Ralstonia solanacearum) infection in eggplant plants collected from Bhubaneswar (Orissa) in India. Bacterial wilt is mainly caused by Enterobacteriaceae , Erwinia tracheophyta, and Burkholderiaceae, Ralstonia solanacearum. 57, February 2019, pp. The family includes the Datura or Jimson weed, eggplant, mandrake, deadly nightshade or belladonna, capsicum, potato, tobacco, tomato, and petunia solanaceous plants. CULTURE AND MANAGEMENT A. We are grateful to Drs. Error bars are depicting standard errors. The bacterium affects more than 30 plant species, the most susceptible crops being potato, tomato, eggplant, pepper, banana and groundnut. A set of 40 seedlings were used for each dilution inoculation and the experiment was repeated three times independently with two replicates. 1985) (1.0% peptone, 0.1% yeast extract, 0.1% casamino acid, 1.5% agar) supplemented with 0.5% glucose and incubated at 28 °C. 1951;62:293–300. Ramesh R. Field evaluation of biological control agents for the management of Ralstonia solanacearum in Brinjal. The result revealed an increased accumulation of hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2) and superoxide (O 2 −) in resistant and susceptible eggplant roots after R. solanacearum inoculation. The phcA mutant was found to be only moderately virulence deficient in eggplant seedlings but was significantly reduced in virulence in tomato. However, this further indicated that eggplant seedlings were more susceptible to R. solanacearum F1C1 than tomato seedlings. 5 and Fig. Bacterial wilt is a major disease in a diverse range of crops including cucurbits (cucumber, pumpkin, bittergourd), potato, peanut, banana, pepper, eggplant and tomato. The hrpG mutant was observed to cause disease in a few seedlings of tomato as well as in eggplant. Its integration into the genome of F1C1 was confirmed by performing PCR with forward primer (5′-GCCAAGCTTTCCAATCCATCCAGCTTCGC-3′) designed upstream of the hrpG cloned fragment and olacR1 (5′-AAGGGGGATGTGCTGCAAGG-3′) designed downstream of the lacZ gene. Valls M, Genin S, Boucher C. Integrated regulation of the type III secretion system and other virulence determinants in Ralstonia solanacearum. Microb Pathog. To determine the effect of different titers of the pathogen on disease progression, the eggplant seedlings were inoculated with different titers of R. solanacearum F1C1 (~ 109, 107, 105, 104 and 103 CFU/mL). In R. solanacearum GMI1000, hrpG positively regulates the expression of hrpB, as well as several other important virulence functions (Valls et al. 151.9.35.11. Plant Pathol. Jacobs JM, Babujee L, Meng F, Milling A, Allen C. The in planta transcriptome of Ralstonia solanacearum: conserved physiological and virulence strategies during bacterial wilt of tomato.

Inoculation by clipping the true leaves will be interesting for a future study. This is an easy and stable method of inoculation in which the juvenile seedlings are maintained in 1.5 or 2.0 mL microfuge tubes. Then a pair of sterile scissors were dipped in the bacterial suspension (~ 109 CFU/mL or other concentrations required) and ~one-third of both the cotyledon leaves from the tips were clipped off in each eggplant seedling, and 6-7 days old tomato seedlings at cotyledon stage were recruited for inoculation in the same way. We anticipate this study would open new windows of investigations towards issues related to host specific pathogenic functions and responses in the immediate future. Figure S2. Ralstonia solanacearum causes a lethal bacterial wilt disease in numerous plants including important vegetable crops such as eggplant and tomato. It enters a plant through natural openings and wounds in the roots and grow up into the stem, where it blocks the supply of nutrients and water to the leaves. However, significant interactions of cultivar–location highlighted the importance of both site environmental conditions and pathogen population variability for the three species (3,32, 39,50–52,57,74).

First report of bacterial wilt caused by Ralstonia solanacearum race I biovar I in eggplant (Solanum melongena) in Tamilnadu, southern India. Eggplant resistance to the Ralstonia solanacearum species complex involves both broad-spectrum and strain-specific quantitative trait loci. TRS1016 (F1C1 wild type tagged with mCherry), TRS1017 and TRS1018 inoculated eggplant seedlings were observed under the fluorescence microscope at 4 dpi. 2014; Zuluaga et al. 1985;131:2449–57. Race 1 is endemic in the United States and can cause bacterial wilt on several major crops such as eggplant, pepper, potato, tobacco and tomato. A soil pH between 5.5 and 7.0, good soil drainage and raised beds help alleviate disease pressure. Pathogenicity of F1C1 and non-pathogenic bacteria in eggplant seedlings by the leaf-clip inoculation. Resistant rootstocks are also available. The disease progression was recorded till 10 dpi. 2018; Mori et al. As root inoculation is a natural mode of infection, therefore inoculation by this mode might necessitate a greater physiological tuning between the host and the pathogen for infection to occur (Singh et al. This indicated that the eggplant seedlings may be more susceptible to R. solanacearum infection than the tomato seedlings. 2016;12:e1005686. d, e Dipping a pair of scissors in bacterial inoculum and clipping off a portion of both the cotyledon leaves. Its symptoms, as its … identify an endophytic bacterial strain from the interior of the eggplant stem, evaluate its efficiency as a biocontrol preparation against Verticillium wilt of eggplant, and investigate its potential antagonistic mechanisms, including the extracellular antagonistic metabolites and the colonization ability inside the eggplant. The general observation was that the number of dead seedlings decreased as bacterial titers in the inoculum went below 107 CFU/mL, which might be proportional to the number of bacteria deposited initially at the inoculated site (Additional file 1: Figure S3). In order to compare BW resistance levels among cultivated eggplants and to identify suitable resistance sources for breeding programs, an intensive screening was conducted at AVRDC. The tissue paper bed was kept wet by adding sterile water every day. Transcriptome responses to Ralstonia solanacearum infection in the roots of the wild potato Solanum commersonii. We believe that the efficacy of the R. solanacearum leaf-clip inoculation mode in tomato and eggplant seedlings is expected to provide fertile ground for its potential utility in the pathogenicity tests of other hosts in near future.
