Other claims from this paper (12)
- Observation Pectobacterium carotovorum subsp. brasiliense was first reported causing soft rot on squash and watermelon in Serbia.
- Observation The 16S rDNA sequence of the strains showed 99% identity to Pcb isolates from cucumber, pepper, cabbage and potato.
- Observation The recA sequences of three strains showed the highest nucleotide identity (100 to 98.35%) with Pcb sequences in GenBank.
- Observation The gapA sequences of three strains showed the highest nucleotide identity (99.42 to 98.08%) with Pcb sequences in GenBank.
- Intervention effect Spray inoculation with the strains caused water-soaked lesions on watermelon and melon seedlings, but not on water-sprayed controls.
- Intervention effect Inoculation by pricking caused soft rot within 48 h on zucchini fruits, but not on sterile-water controls.
- Observation Bacteria reisolated from inoculated plant and fruit tissue were identified as Pcb by PCR, completing Koch’s postulates.
- Observation Round, water-soaked lesions were observed on fruits of sporadic squash plants in two breeder variety trial fields in Bački Petrovac.
- Observation Symptomatic squash plants of cultivar GL Maxima showed 30% symptom intensity.
- Observation Vine infection was observed on watermelon plants in a commercial field in Čelarevo.
- Observation Soft rot lesions on infected watermelon stems led to collapse and wilting of entire vines.
- Observation Fewer than 10% of watermelon plants showed symptoms.
