Bacterial wilt caused by Ralstonia solanacearum is one of the most important bacterial diseases in potato production. This study aimed to obtain the transgenic potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) cultivar IPB CP3, containing LYZ‐C gene encoding for lysozyme type C, resistant to bacterial disease caused by R. solanacearum. Genetic transformation using Agrobacterium tumefaciens LBA4404 to 124 internode explants resulted in the transformation efficiency of about 47.58% with a regeneration efficiency of approximately 30.51%. Gene integration analysis showed that 16 clones were confirmed as transgenic clones containing the LYZ‐C gene. Analysis of resistance to R. solanacearum of three transgenic clones showed that all three transgenic clones were more resistant than a non‐transgenic one. This result showed that the LYZ‐C gene integrated in the genome of transgenic potato increased the resistance of potato plants to R. solanacearum. We obtained two transgenic clones considered resistant to bacterial wilt disease.

La papa (Solanum tuberosum L.) es el tercer cultivo alimenticio más importante del mundo en términos de consumo humano, después del arroz y del trigo, es un alimento básico para países desarrollados como Europa y Estados Unidos.  Este cultivo es afectado por problemas fitosanitarios, entre los que sobresale Ralstonia solanacearum. El objetivo de este estudio fue identificar mediante prueba fenotípica los mecanismos de resistencia de la bacteria Ralstonia solanacearum, aislada del cultivo de papa (S. tuberosum L.). La colecta de muestras se realizó en fincas de la reserva natural Miraflor y Tisey del departamento de Estelí. La bacteria fue aislada a partir de tejido vegetal mediante la prueba de flujo bacteriano y por técnica de dilución a partir de las muestras de suelo. La identificación de biovares se realizó con pruebas individuales de carbohidratos y la caracterización de razas fue mediante la prueba de hipersensibilidad Ralstonia solanacearum en hojas de tabaco. Se identificaron 19 aislados con características de Ralstonia solanacearum que manifestaron reacciones positivas a las pruebas de Oxidasa, Catalasa y KOH 3%, además se caracterizaron por su crecimiento acuoso, colonias grandes, blancas y centro de color rosado en el medio agar cloruro de tetrazolium (TZC 1%), con la prueba individual de azúcares se identificaron 14 aislados de R. solanacearum, como biovar 1, y los cinco restantes como biovar 3. Las reacciones en hojas de tabaco después de la infiltración de la bacteria mostraron que los 19 aislados de R. solanacearum pertenecen a la raza 1. Se identificaron 12 aislados de R. solanacearum con mecanismo de resistencia AmpC hiperproducido y siete aislados considerados como salvajes.

Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is a tuberous crop from the Sola-naceae family which is a source of starch and food to many in Nige-ria, however, its production is being hampered in field and storage by bacterial pathogen which causes rot of the stored tubers. To this end, the study aimed at screening potatoes from different stores within Ibadan for the evaluation and diversity of bacteria pathogens responsible for rot in potatoes. Damaged stored potato samples were collected from different locations in Ibadan for studies, these samples were isolated for bacterial pathogen and characterized bio-chemically and observed under the microscope for identification. Three genera of bacteria were observed to be responsible for potato rot in the study and they include Pectobacterium carotovorum, Pseu-domonas syringae and Ralstonia solanacearum. Of all the isolated bacteria, Pectobacterium carotovorum has the highest occurrence with a frequency of 60%, while Pseudomonas syringae has a fre-quency of 33% and Ralstonia solanacearum has a frequency of 27%. The pathogenicity of the isolates were tested and this revealed that Pectobacterium carotovorum is the most virulent with a severity score of 4.3, while Ralstonia solanacearum follows with a score of 3.3 and a score of 2.7 was recorded for Pseudomonas syringae, while the control had a score of 0. The diversity and differences shown in the isolated bacteria indicated that potato rot is a serious disease which is caused by different bacteria and need an integrated ap-proach for its control from the field of harvesting to the storage house.
