IDENTIFICATION OF PLANT PATHOGENIC BACTERIUM FROM CROWNGALL OF JAPANESE CHERRY (PRUNUS XYROLOEUSIS) ANDCONTROL TECHNOLOGY / 微生物学通报

ABSTRACT

11 plant pathogenic strains were isolated from the crown gall of Japanese cherry (Prunus xyroloensis)in Japanese cherry growing areas, such as Chixing. fenhua and Shenzhou counties of Zhejiang province. Ten ofthem were identified as Agrobacterium tumefaciens biotype 1 based on their morphological. physiological andbiochemical characterizations and bacterial protein SDS-PAGE test. The plate antagonistic assay and the potbiocontrol test indicated that the isolated strains of A tumefaciens biotype 1 were sensitive to the well-knownantagonistic bacterium , K84 strain. The K84 strain could inhabit the tumor production by the pathogenic satins.
