“…This seed-borne pathogen can infect plants at any growth stage, but is typically seen at the seedling stage or at the mature fruit stage [18]. The first reported outbreak in the United States was in a commercial watermelon field in Florida in 1989 [18,19]. In addition to watermelon, this pathogen can cause severe disease on most cucurbits [18,20].…”

“…At first, it was observed that the ATCC29625 type strain (obtained from watermelon) did not cause a hypersensitive response (HR) in tobacco and had little virulence on watermelon compared with other strains isolated from the same host (Schaad et al, 1978;Somodi et al, 1991). Furthermore, strains causing BFB epidemics in cantaloupe melon in Queensland, Australia were considerably more virulent on melon and less virulent on the invading plant Cucumis myriocarpus Naudin compared with strains obtained from watermelon in the same state (O´Brien and Martin, 1999).…”

Bacterial fruit blotch (BFB) of cucurbit plants is caused by Acidovorax citrulli and represents a serious concern to melon (Cucumis melo L.) growers worldwide, including those in Brazil. Thirty-four A. citrulli strains from different melon production areas of northeastern Brazil were characterized for their virulence on melon fruits and their substrate utilization and molecular profiles. Based on the analysis of BFB severity on melon fruits, the A. citrulli strains were divided into three groups, classified as mildly, moderately or highly virulent. Although host-related groups were not observed, the watermelon and 'melão-pepino' strains exhibited only low or moderate virulence on melon fruit. Substrate utilization profiles revealed that 94 % of the 95 tested compounds were used by A. citrulli strains as a carbon source. Overall, based on substrate utilization, low variability was observed with no relationship to host of origin. The formation of one group of A. citrulli strains based on Repetitive Sequence-based PCR (rep-PCR) analysis confirmed the low variability observed in the substrate utilization analyses. Bayesian inference based on the analysis of 23S rDNA partial sequence data resulted in one well-supported clade and clustered the strains with the A. citrulli-type species with high posterior probability support. Based on the markers used, the Brazilian A. citrulli strains belong to a single group, which corresponds to the previously described Group I for this bacterium in the United States.

“…Bacterial fruit blotch caused by the bacterium Acidovorax citrulli is a devastating disease of cucurbit hosts in many producing countries (Latin & Rane 1990;Evans & Mulrooney 1991;Somodi et al 1991;Jacobs et al 1992;Black et al 1994;Babadoost & Pataky 2002). Furthermore, the pathogenic bacterium developed disease symptoms on other cucurbit hosts including musk melon (Sowell 1981), honeydew (Isakeit et al 1997), citron melon (Isakeit et al 1998), melon (Assis et al 1999), rock melon , cucumber , pumpkin (Langston et.…”

Occurrence, isolation, and identification of Acidovorax citrulli from Melon in Turkey

Horuz S., Cetinkaya-Yildiz R., Mirik M., Aysan Y. (2014): Occurrence, isolation, and identification of Acidovorax citrulli from Melon in Turkey. Plant Protect. Sci., 50: 179-183.During February and August of 2010 and 2011, disease symptoms were detected in melon (Cucumis melo cv. Surmeli) fields and commercial nurseries in Adana and Mersin provinces (Eastern Mediterranean Region, Turkey). Lesions on leaves and fruits were observed in nearly 75 and 85 acres production areas of melon in 2010 and 2011, respectively. Initial symptoms were water-soaked irregular spots, light brown to reddish spots advancing through veins on leaves, small water-soaked lesions, greasy, dark olive green colour areas on the surfaces of melon fruit followed by brown lesions, softening, and cracks. Thirty-five non-fluorescent, slow-growing, round, cream and Gram-negative bacterial isolates were isolated from symptomatic plant materials. The pathogenicity of the isolates was proved using melon seedlings and fruits. According to classical, serological, and molecular assays, the causal organism was identified as Acidovorax citrulli. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report and occurrence of bacterial fruit blotch disease on melon as a new host in Turkey.
