“…Severe damage should be expected after hailstorms since the bacteria can easily infect plants through wounds caused by hailstones (Arsenijević, 1997). Insects and irrigation water are also effective modes of bacterial spreading (Bhat et al, 2010).…”

Soft rot symptoms were observed on broccoli plants in several commercial fields in the western part of Serbia. Six strains of bacteria were isolated from diseased tissues and identified as Pectobacterium carotovorum subsp. carotovorum using conventional bacteriological and molecular methods. All strains were non-fluorescent, gram-negative, facultative anaerobes, oxidase-negative and catalase-positive, causing soft rot on potato and carrot slices and did not induce hypersensitive reaction on tobacco leaves. They grew in 5% NaCl and at 37°C, did not produce acid from α-methyl glucoside, sorbitol and maltose, nor reducing substances from sucrose, but utilized lactose and trehalose, and did not produce indole or lecithinase. The investigated strains showed characteristic growth on Logan's medium and did not produce blue pigmented indigoidine on GYCA medium nor "fried egg" colonies on PDA. The identity of strains was confirmed by ITS-PCR and ITS-RFLP analyses and by sequence analysis of the 16S rRNA gene. In a pathogenicity assay, all strains caused tissue discoloration and soft rot development on inoculated broccoli head tissue fragments.

“…Th e most frequently identifi ed genera are Pseudomonas (Mauzey et al 2015), Erwinia (Togashi et al 2001), Pectobacterium (Nazerian et al 2011), Xanthomonas (Roberts et al 1999;Eichmeier et al 2015) and Bacillus (Agrios 2006). Th e bacteria mainly attack the fl eshy storage organs of their hosts (Bhat et al 2010). Soft rot pathogens are transmitted by contact with infected plants or by their persistence on postharvest residues (Davidsson et al 2013).…”

Twenty-six cabbage heads stored under typical conditions in a storage hall in Moravia, Czech Republic, were tested for the presence of bacteria by the method of isolation from three diff erent parts of the cabbage heads. Isolations were carried out from stalks, inner and superfi cial leaves. Two samplings were done; in November 2015 and February 2016. Bacterial cultures were sequenced in the part of 16S rRNA region; bacteria were identifi ed according to the sequences obtained. Th e most prevalent bacteria were of the genus Pseudomonas. Genera: Klebsiella, Erwinia, Pantoea, Bacillus were also identifi ed. Th e results provided an interesting insight into the bacterial spectrum in stored cabbage heads and their dynamics during storage. Th e nucleotide sequences which were found were saved in GenBank/NCBI under accession numbers KX160104-KX160145.

“…Potato tuber soft rot is caused by pectinolytic Pectobacterium and Dickeya bacterium species (Czajkowski et al, 2011). Postharvest soft rots can occur as a result of injuries during harvesting and handling (Conway, 1989;Bhat et al, 2010) and the prevailing weather conditions during the growing season can also affect disease occurrence on stored tubers (Cwalina-Ambroziak et al, 2009).…”

Contamination of potato with soft rotting enterobacteria belonging to the Pectobacterium and Dickeya genera is one of the biggest problems in potato production. Calcium plays an important role in minimising the severity and incidence of potato tuber soft rot in storage. This review gives a detailed assessment of the epidemiology of the pathogens and how calcium affects potato tuber soft rot in storage.
