Monoclonal antibody Mn-Cs1 with a high level of sensitivity and specificity for detection and determination of Clavibacter michiganensis subsp. sepedonicus was prepared. Strain C. m. subsp. sepedonicus NCPPB 3467 (as whole cell antigen and extracellular polysaccharides) was used for immunisation of four mice Balb/c. After cloning and verifying, two stable hybridoma clones were gained. One monoclonal antibody, designated Mn-Cs1, was used in all tests. It reacted intensely with extracellular polysaccharides from homologous antigen (> 0.5 mg/ml), weakly with proteins from cell walls (> 200 μg/ml) and with whole homologous antigen (concentration 104–103 cfu/ml) in DAS-ELISA. Monoclonal antibody Mn-Cs1 showed a high level of specificity. It reacted neither with bacterial strains of closely related subspecies of Clavibacter michiganensis (C. m. subsp. michiganensis and C. m. subsp. insidiosus) nor with the saprophytic bacteria Pseudomonas fluorescens and Pantoea agglomerans.

ABSTRACT Inoculation Techniques of Clavibacter michiganensis subsp. sepedonicus, the Cause of Bacterial Ring Rot Disease, on Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.). Clavibacter michiganensis subsp. sepedonicus, the cause of bacterial ring rot disease on potatoes, has been detected in potato fields in Pangalengan. To anticipate the spread of the pathogen, researches on the desease epidemiology are urgent to be carried out. Artificial inoculation techniques will be useful in the epidemiological studies. The objective of this reasearch was to evaluate some inoculation techniques, which are simple, cheap and fast in causing disease symptoms. The experiment was carried out at the laboratory and glasshouse of Balai Penelitian Tanaman Sayuran (Balitsa), Lembang. The experiment was arranged in the randomized block design with five treatments of inoculation technique and five replications. The treatments were (a) soaking wounded seed tubers in pathogen suspension, (b) soaking not wounded seed tubers in pathogen suspension, (c) pathogen suspension was injected into leaf axil, (d) pathogen suspension was injected into seed tubers, and (e) pathogen suspension was poured into the planting holes. The results showed that stabbing and soaking tubers in pathogen suspension caused the shortest incubation period (17 days after inoculation) and the highest disease incidence (60%).

Nodal cuttings of tissue cultured potato (Solarium tuberosum L. ’Sangre’) were inoculated with the bacterial ring rot (BRR) pathogen, Clavibacter michiganensis subsp. sepedonicus (Cms). Under commercial tissue culturing conditions, the pathogen persisted through as many as three micropropagation cycles, each consisting of production of a plantlet from an apical cutting. Infected plantlets did not develop BRR symptoms of leaf wilt or chlorosis. Signs of bacterial presence, cloudiness of tissue culturing medium or foliar lesions, were not present when the inoculum level was low, 5.0 × 102 cfu mL−1. A higher inoculum concentration (5.0 × 103 cfu mL−1) reduced plantlet height, but the lower concentration had no effect on height. Growth and viability of tissue from Cms-inoculated plantlets grown on Murashige and Skoog’s medium without sucrose, a source of carbon, were reduced compared to those grown with sucrose, but BRR symptoms were not induced at these inoculum levels. When transplanted to soilless potting medium, a basal portion of cycle 1 plantlets either died or produced a symptomatic miniplant, indicating that Cms survived during the growth of a plantlet into a miniplant. Nonsymptomatic miniplants were produced by portions of some cycle 2 and 3 Cms-infected plantlets, indicating that successive nodal propagation decreased the number of symptomatic miniplants. Bioassays of these nonsymptomatic miniplants were Cms-negative. Incubating plantlet tissue in Richardson broth for 14 d and visually observing for turbidity was not effective in detecting Cms in cultured potato tissue. Because phytopathogenic bacteria may persist in tissue cultures without causing symptoms, pathogen-specific testing of source plants and plant cultures is necessary to prevent transmission of bacteria to cultured stock and field-grown progeny.Key words: Potato shoot cultures, Solanum tuberosum L., Clavibacter michiganensis subsp. sepedonicus, medium with no carbon, bacterial persistence and detection, symptomless infection, Solanum melongena L.

Clavibacter michiganensis subsp. sepedonicus (Cms), causing ring rot of potato, is a quarantine bacterium. According to colony morphology, Cms occurs mostly as fluidal (smooth), but sometime as intermediate (rough, i.e. less fluidal) variants, too. Commercial monoclonal antibodies (Agdia, USA) were used for determination of 40 Cms strains representing both forms. All Cms strains were reliably identified by IFAS, but atypical cells were sometime recorded in population of intermediate strains. The fluidal Cms strains were more reliably identified using DAS-ELISA and the Biolog GP MicroPlate System<sup>TM</sup> than intermediate strains. The intermediate Cms strains had decreased metabolic activity compared with fluidal strains and that is why they were identified only to the genera or to the species level or not identified. The differences among fluidal and intermediate Cms strains were recorded also in bioassay on eggplants. The intermediate Cms strains caused atypical or no symptoms with comparison to fluidal strains.

To develop a rapid and reliable detection and identification method for Clavibacter michiganensis subsp. sepedonicus and C. michiganensis subsp. michiganensis, two biotinylated probes and derived primer sets were evaluated for specificity using a large number of bacterial strains. Detection in dot blot analysis using the Diagen probe against C. michiganensis subsp. sepedonicus was possible with all 32 C. michiganensis subsp. sepedonicus strains tested. Cross-hybridization occurred with all nine C. michiganensis subsp. insidiosus strains tested. No hybridization occurred with any of 54 other related and unrelated bacterial strains including C. michiganensis subsp. michiganensis, C. michiganensis subsp. nebraskensis, C. michiganensis subsp. tessellarius, C. iranicus, C. rathayi, and C. tritici and potato saprophytes. Hybridization of the MIC 1 probe against C. michiganensis subsp. michiganensis was obtained with 22 out of 24 C. michiganensis subsp. michiganensis strains. A weak hybridization signal occurred only with two strains of C. michiganensis subsp. insidiosns. No hybridization occurred with any of the 71 other related and unrelated bacterial strains tested including tomato saprophytes. Restriction fragment length polymorphisms detected with the Diagen probe allowed differentiation between C. michiganensis subsp. sepedonicus and the related C. michiganensis subsp. insidiosus. Restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis using the MIC 1 probe and BamH1 showed at least two groups of patterns within C. michiganensis subsp. michiganensis. By using a primer set derived from the Diagen probe, a DNA sequence could be amplified with all C. michiganensis subsp. sepedonicus strains tested. Only the nontarget organism C. michiganensis subsp. insidiosus yielded a similar polymerase chain reaction product. Restriction enzyme analysis of the polymerase chain reaction product enabled rapid distinction between the subspecies. With a CMM primer set derived from the MIC 1 probe a DNA sequence was amplified from the same 22 out of 24 C. michiganensis subsp. michiganensis strains that showed hybridization with the MIC 1 probe. The polymerase chain reaction product could be verified by restriction enzyme analysis. The Diagen and MIC 1 probes and derived primer sets were shown to be useful for the detection and identification of C. michiganensis subsp. sepedonicus and C. michiganensis subsp. michiganensis. The MIC 1 probe, however, failed to detect two strains of the latter subspecies.Key words: biotin, PCR, REA, potato bacterial ring rot, bacterial canker of tomato, RFLP, Clavibacter michiganensis subsp. insidiosus.

Strains of Clavibacter michiganensis subsp. sepedonicus, causal agent of bacterial ring rot of potato, showed marked differences in virulence on host plants. When infiltrated into tobacco leaves, virulent strains caused a rapid localized necrotic response (within 24 to 48 h) characteristic of the hypersensitive response (HR), whereas nonpathogenic strains did not. Concentrated cell-free culture supernatants (CCS) from virulent strains caused a necrotic reaction on tobacco, whereas CCS from nonpathogenic strains did not. The necrosis-inducing activity was heat stable and protease sensitive. Inhibitors of eukaryotic metabolism suppressed the necrotic reaction of tobacco to CCS. No necrotic response was observed when host plants were infiltrated with either cells or CCS from virulent strains. HR-inducing protein(s) from a virulent strain separated from the majority of other proteins on DEAE cellulose at 250 to 300 mM NaCl. Ammonium sulfate-precipitated proteins from a virulent strain produced a necrotic reaction at a total protein concentration of 18 μg/ml, whereas those from a nonpathogenic strain did not, even at a concentration of 180 μg/ml. We conclude that virulent strains of C. michiganensis subsp. sepedonicus elicit a typical HR in tobacco and secrete proteinaceous elicitor(s) of the nonhost HR.

ABSTRACTIt has previously been shown that the tomato pathogenClavibacter michiganensissubsp.michiganensissecretes a 14-kDa protein,C. michiganensissubsp.michiganensisAMP-I (CmmAMP-I), that inhibits growth ofClavibacter michiganensissubsp.sepedonicus, the causal agent of bacterial ring rot of potato. Using sequences obtained from tryptic fragments, we have identified the gene encodingCmmAMP-I and we have recombinantly produced the protein with an N-terminal intein tag. The gene sequence showed thatCmmAMP-I contains a typical N-terminal signal peptide for Sec-dependent secretion. The recombinant protein was highly active, with 50% growth inhibition (IC50) of approximately 10 pmol, but was not toxic to potato leaves or tubers.CmmAMP-I does not resemble any known protein and thus represents a completely new type of bacteriocin. Due to its high antimicrobial activity and its very narrow inhibitory spectrum,CmmAMP-1 may be of interest in combating potato ring rot disease.

Bacterial canker caused by Clavibacter michiganensis subsp. michiganensis causes significant yield losses on tomatoes grown in a humid environment. This study was conducted to identify a source of resistance that could be easily crossed to cultivated tomato and to study the inheritance of resistance. Diverse bacterial strains representative of the major DNA fingerprint classes endemic to North America were used to screen germ plasm and populations derived from wide crosses. Partial resistance to genetically characterized and distinct strains of C. michiganensis subsp. michiganensis was identified in a wild relative of cultivated tomato, Lycopersicon hirsutum Lycopersicon accession (LA)407. The level of resistance in LA407 was not significantly different from that of the resistant L. peruvianum control, LA2157. Resistance from LA407 was recovered in lines from a BC2S4 inbred backcross (IBC) population in both greenhouse and field trials. Linear correlations between field and greenhouse resistance scores were significant, though correlation coefficients tended to be low. Variance components for genetic and environmental variation in resistance were used to estimate broad-sense heritability in the IBC population. These estimates were moderate to high, ranging from 0.34 to 0.85. The number of genes contributing to resistance was estimated from four trials, with most estimates falling in the range of one to three loci. Two lines from the IBC population, IBL 2353 and IBL 2361, were identified as sources that retain resistance in a genetic background that has a theoretical L. esculentum genome content of 87.5%.
