The soft rot inducing bacterium Pectobacterium brasilienseis considered one of the most virulent species among the Pectobacteriaceae. P. brasilienseaffects a wide range of economically important crops and causes serious damages. In 2019 a bacterial disease was confirmed on Zamioculcas zamiifoliaplants derived from commercial ornamental plant nurseries on the island of Crete in Greece. Pectobacterium brasiliensewas isolated and subsequently identified morphologically, biochemically, physiologically and molecularly based on PCR with the specific primers BR1f/L1R and multilocus sequence analysis (MLSA). The pathogenicity of the isolates was confirmed using artificial inoculations on ZZ plants with subsequent re-isolation and re-identification. To our knowledge this is the first record of Pectobacterium brasiliensecausing soft rot on Zamioculcas zamiifoliaplants in Greece and worldwide. |
