AB  - During May 2016, severe blight symptoms were observed in several
raspberry and blackberry fields in Serbia. In total, 22 strains were isolated: 16 from symptomatic raspberry shoots, 2 from asymptomatic
raspberry leaves, and 4 from symptomatic blackberry shoots. Additionally,
eight raspberry strains, isolated earlier from two similar outbreaks, were
included in the study. Pathogenicity of the strains was confirmed on
detached raspberry and blackberry shoots by reproducing the symptoms
of natural infection. The strains were Gram-negative, fluorescent on
King’s medium B, ice nucleation positive, and utilized glucose oxidatively. All strains were levan positive, oxidase negative, nonpectolytic,
arginine dihydrolase negative, and induced hypersensitivity in tobacco
leaves (LOPAT + −−− +, Pseudomonas group Ia). Furthermore, all
strains liquefied gelatin and hydrolyzed aesculin but did not show tyrosinase activity or utilize tartrate (GATTa + + − −). Tentative identification using morphology, LOPAT, GATTa, and ice-nucleating ability
tests suggested that isolated strains belong to Pseudomonas syringae.
The syrB gene associated with syringomycin production was detected
in all strains. DNA fingerprints with REP, ERIC, and BOX primers
generated identical profiles for 29 strains, except for strain KBI 222,
which showed a unique genomic fingerprint. In all, 9 of 10 selected
strains exhibited identical sequences of four housekeeping genes: gyrB,
rpoD, gapA, and gltA. Five nucleotide polymorphisms were found in
strain KBI 222 at the rpoD gene locus only. In the phylogenetic tree
based on a concatenated sequence of all four housekeeping genes,
strains clustered within phylogroup 2 (i.e., genomospecies 1) of the
P. syringae species complex, with pathotype strains of P. syringae pv.
aceris and P. syringae pv. solidagae as their closest relatives. There
was no correlation between genotype and geographic origin, particular
outbreak, host, or cultivar.

AB  - Acidovorax citrulli, the causal agent of bacterial fruit blotch (BFB), is an economically important pathogen of watermelon and related plant species worldwide. In the period 2014–2018, several outbreaks of BFB were observed in major watermelon production regions in Serbia. A total of 43 strains, isolated from symptomatic watermelon tissue, were analyzed by biochemical, pathogenic and molecular tests. Based on the phenotypic characteristics, PCR assay, and 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, all strains were identified as A. citrulli. A multilocus sequence analysis of the four housekeeping (adk, gyrB, pilT and gltA) and three virulence genes (Aave_1548, avrRx01 and luxR) revealed that studied A. citrulli strains represent the homogeneous population and they clustered together with group II reference strain AAC00-1. Strain affiliation to group II was confirmed by PCR based on the putative type III secretion effector gene and by duplex PCR test. High homogeneity of studied strains was also confirmed by BOX-PCR. Differences were observed for two strains in their pathogenicity as well as susceptibility to copper compounds. Moreover, six major watermelon varieties grown in Serbia showed high sensitivity to the pathogen, while cross inoculation assay revealed that the strains were able to infect other species within the Cucurbitaceae family.

AB  - Bacterial fruit blotch and seedling blight, caused by Acidovorax citrulli, is one of the most destructive diseases of melon and watermelon in many countries. Pathogen-free seed and cultural practices are major pillars of the disease control. However, use of bacteriophages as natural biocontrol agents might also contribute to the disease management. Therefore, we isolated 12 bacteriophages specific to A. citrulli, from phyllosphere and rhizosphere of diseased watermelon plants. The phage strains were characterized based on their host range, plaque and virion morphology, thermal inactivation point, adsorption rate, one step growth curve, restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP), and genomic analysis. Transmission electron microscopy of three phage strains indicated that they belong to the order Caudovirales, family Siphoviridae. All phages lysed 30 out of 32 tested A. citrulli strains isolated in Serbia, and did not lyse other less related bacterial species. They produced clear plaques, 2 mm in diameter, on bacterial lawns of different A. citrulli strains after 24 h of incubation. The thermal inactivation point was 66 or 67°C. They were stable at pH 5–9, but were sensitive to chloroform and inactivated in either 5 or 10 min exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light. RFLP analysis using EcoRI, BsmI and BamHI enzymes did not show genetic differences among the tested phages. Adsorption rate and one step growth curve were determined for the Acidovorax phage ACF1. Draft genome sequence of the ACF1 phage was 59.377 bp in size, with guanine-cytosine (GC) content 64.5%, including 89 open reading frames. This phage shared a very high genomic identity with Acidovorax phage ACPWH, isolated in South Korea. Evaluation of systemic nature of ACF1 strain showed that it can be absorbed by roots and translocated to upper parts of watermelon plants where it survived up to 10 days.

AB  - Bacterial stalk soft rot have been repeatedly observed on maize plants in several commercial fields in northern part of Serbia in the period of 1990 to 2014. The occurrence of the disease corresponded with warm weather and increased humidity. Etiological studies of the diseased tissue constantly resulted in isolation of pectolytic bacterial strains. In order to identify the isolated bacteria, twenty-three strains were characterized by morphological, physiolcal, biochemical, and molecular assays. Pathogenicity of the strains was confirmed by Koch's postulates on 1-week-old maize seedlings. The strains were Gram and oxidase-negative, non-fluorescent, pectolytic, facultative anaerobic and caused hypersensitive response (HR) in tobacco leaves. They produced catalase and lecithinase, but did not produce oxidase and arginine dehydrolase. All strains reduced nitrate and grew at 37 degrees C, while variable growth was observed in medium containing 5% NaCl. Phenotypic tests and amplification of the specific 420-bp fragment in PCR assay showed that the strains belong to genus Dickeya. Using ERIC-PCR analysis seven different genetic profiles were obtained, suggesting the presence of genetic diversity in the population of this pathogen in Serbia. Additionally, phylogenetic analysis based on the recA gene sequence analysis indicated that the strains isolated from soft rotted maize belong to Dickeya zeae, leading to the conclusion that this bacterium was the causal agent of stalk soft rot of maize in Serbia.

AB  - Three PCR methods, referred in this study as,conventional" "nested" and,chromosomal" PCR and suggested for routine detection of Erwinia amylovora in pure culture and plant material, were evaluated according to their specificity and sensitivity. Specificity of PCR methods was analyzed by using 42 strains of E. amylovora, originating from different locations and plant species, with diverse PFGE profiles, representing distant populations of the pathogen. Sensitivity of PCR protocols in pure culture was studied by using nine different concentrations of E. amylovora in sterile ultrapure water as a template in PCR reactions. In order to study inhibitory effect of plant DNA and other inhibitors on sensitivity of the three PCR methods bacterial dilutions were mixed with plant macerate of pear, apple and quince prior to the PCR reaction. In specificity assays, tested PCR protocols were able to detect all E. amylovora strains regardless of the host of the strain, its origin or PFGE group, indicating primer specificity. On the other hand, sensitivity among tested methods varied, depending on bacterial concentration and selected plant material used in the PCR. When working with pure cultures nested PCR showed the greatest sensitivity by detecting 1.9 bacterial cells per PCR reaction, followed by detection limit of 9.5 cells per PCR reaction with conventional PCR and 1.9.105 cells/PCR reaction with chromosomal PCR. In spiked samples plant inhibitors either did not affect or they decreased the sensitivity of the PCR reaction, depending on the protocol and/or type of plant macerate. In our experiments, inhibitors from pear and quince macerates did not affect sensitivity of nested PCR, while apple macerate reduced its sensitivity by a factor of 10. Conventional PCR protocol was able to detect 95 cells/PCR reaction in pear and apple macerate, but only 9.5.103 cells/PCR in quince macerate. Greatest decrease in sensitivity of the PCR method was observed in spiked samples with chromosomal PCR since bacterial DNA was not detected in each of the spiked samples. Our research shows that all three PCR protocols are specific for detection of E. amylovora, but nested PCR proved to be most sensitive when working with pure cultures and plant material.

AB  - Crown gall is considered one of the most important and widespread bacterial diseases of grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.). Disease is present in almost all grapevine-growing areas worldwide. Crown gall is an economically important plant disease of grapevine, especially in nurseries and newly established vineyards. Typical symptoms of grapevine crown gall disease include tumor formation on the aerial parts of host plants. Agrobacterium vitis is primary species causing this disease. A. vitis colonizes grapevine systemically and can persists latently in symptomless plant material. It is also detected as an epiphyte on grapevine and can survive in soil exclusively in association with host plants. Crown gall can be efficiently disseminated to distant geographical areas via international trade of propagation material, which is considered the main pathway of disease introduction and spread. In Serbia, crown gall was observed sporadically on grapevine, although it occurred with high incidence and severity in some years. Because there are no effective curative control measures, the disease is especially challenging to manage. Therefore, the disease management strategy is based on preventive measures. Use of pathogen-free planting material in areas with no history of the crown gall represents main prerequisite for the disease prevention. Biological control and production of resistant grape varieties are promising as future control measures.
AB  - Bakteriozni rak smatra se jednim od najvažnijih i najrasprostranjenijih bakte-rioznih oboljenja vinove loze (Vitis vinifera L.). Ustanovljen je u gotovo svim zemljama gde se gaji vinova loza. Bakteriozni rak je ekonomski vrlo značajno oboljenje vinove loze, a posebno je ozbiljno u rasadnicima i mladim vinogradima. Tipični simptomi bakterioznog raka ispoljavaju se u vidu tumora na nadzemnim delovima vinove loze. Vrsta Agrobacterium vitis glavni je prouzrokovač ovog obo-ljenja. Patogen sistemično zaražava vinovu lozu i prisutan je u sprovodnom tkivu domaćina, a može biti latentno prisutan u asimptomatičnom biljnom materijalu. Takođe, patogen je detektovan i kao epifit na površini različitih organa vinove loze, kao i u rizosferi i zemljištu u blizini biljaka domaćina. A. vitis može biti raširen na velike udaljenosti putem naizgled zdravog sadnog materijala, što predstavlja najznačajniji način introdukcije i širenja bolesti. U Srbiji, bakteriozni rak se javlja sporadično, mada je u pojedinim godinama zabeležena jača pojava ovog obolje-nja uz visoku stopu zaraženih biljaka i izražene štete. Kontrola bakterioznog raka nije laka, s obzirom da ne postoje efikasne kurativne mere. Stoga se strategija zaštite prvenstveno zasniva na preventivnim merama. Korišćenje zdravog sad-nog materijala i zasnivanje vinograda na površinama koje nisu kontaminirane patogenom neizostavna je mera. Biološka kontrola i proizvodnja otpornih sorti predstavljaju obećavajuće mere kontrole u budućnosti.

AB  - Xanthomonas euvesicatoria phage K Phi 1, a member of Myoviridae family, was isolated from the rhizosphere of pepper plants showing symptoms of bacterial spot. The phage strain expressed antibacterial activity to all X. euvesicatoria strains tested and did not lyse other Xanthomonas spp., nor other less related bacterial species. The genome of K Phi D1 is double-stranded DNA of 46.077 bp including 66 open reading frames and an average GC content of 62.9%, representing the first complete genome sequence published for a phage infecting xanthomonads associated with pepper or tomato. The highest genome similarity was observed between phage K Phi 1 and the Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae specific phage OP2. On the other hand, when compared with other members of the genus Bcep78virus, the genome similarity was lower. Forty-four (67%) predicted K Phi 1 proteins shared homology with Xanthomonas phage OP2, while 20 genes (30%) were unique to K Phi 1. Phage K Phi 1, which is chloroform resistant and stable in different media and in the pH range 5-11, showed a high titer storage ability for at least 2 years at +4 degrees C. Copper-hydroxide and copper-oxychloride reduced phage activity proportionally to the used concentrations and the exposure time. UV light was detrimental to the phage strain, but skim milk plus sucrose formulation extended its survival in vitro. The phages survived for at least 7 days on the surface of pepper leaves in the greenhouse, showing the ability to persist on the plant tissue without the presence of the host bacterium. Results of three repeated experiments showed that foliar applications of the unformulated K Phi 1 phage suspension effectively controlled pepper bacterial spot compared to the standard treatment and the untreated control. The integration of the phage K Phi 1 and copper-hydroxide treatments resulted in an increased efficacy compared to the copper-hydroxide alone.

AB  - The diversity of 30 Erwinia amylovora strains, isolated from quince, pear and apple trees on 14 localities in Serbia, was studied using bacteriological and molecular methods. In pathogenicity tests, all strains caused necrosis and oozing of bacterial exudate on inoculated immature pear, cherry and plum fruits, and induced hypersensitive reaction in tobacco leaves. The studied strains were Gram and oxidase negative, non-fluorescent, levan and catalase positive and facultatively anaerobic. The strains did not reduce nitrates, but utilized citrate and produced acid from sorbitol, hydrolyzed gelatine, produced reducing substances from sucrose and grew in the presence of 5% NaCl, but not at 36oC. Identity of the strains was confirmed by conventional and nested PCR methods. Rep-PCR with REP, ERIC and BOX primers resulted in amplification of several DNA fragments respectively, but showed no variation within the strains. However, different genetic profiles were obtained with RAPD-PCR by using six primers which enabled differentiation of the strains into four groups. Genetic differences between the studied strains did not correlate with the host plants, geographical origin or year of isolation.
AB  - Primenom standardnih bakterioloških i molekularnih metoda proučen je diverzitet 30 sojeva Erwinia amylovora izolovanih iz dunje, kruške i jabuke, poreklom iz 14 lokaliteta u Srbiji.

Identitet sojeva potvrđen je konvencionalnim PCR i nested PCR metodama.

AB  - Cucurbits production has a long tradition in our country. In some parts of the country, cucumber, watermelon and melon are the most important agricultural crops. High yield and good profit are often compromized by various biotic and abiotic factors. In years with favorable weather conditions cucurbit bacterial diseases can cause serious damage. This paper describes major bacterial diseases of cucurbit plants, such as angular leaf spot caused by Pseudomonas syringae pv. lachrymans, bacterial fruit blotch caused by Acidovorax citrulli, bacterial spot caused by Xanthomonas campestris, bacterial wilt caused by Erwinia tracheiphila and cucurbit yellow wine disease caused by Serratia marcescens, relatively new and invasive disease across the United States. In addition, bacterial leaf spot, caused by Pseudomonas syringae pv. syringae and Pectobacterium carotovorum subsp. carotovorum, inducing bacterial soft rot, are becoming more important in cucurbit production worldwide.
AB  - Biljke familije Cucurbitaceae se dugi niz godina gaje širom naše zemlje. U pojedinim krajevima, proizvodnja krastavca, lubenice i dinje predstavlja osnovni izvor prihoda za mnoga poljoprivredna domaćinstva. Visok prinos i ekonomsku dobit često ugrožavaju različiti biotski i abiotski faktori. U godinama sa uslovima povoljnim za nastanak infekcije, bakteriozna oboljenja mogu prouzrokovati velike gubitke. U ovom radu predstavljene su najznačajnije bakterioze biljaka familije Cucurbitaceae kao što su uglasta pegavost lišća krastavca, prouzrokovana bakterijom Pseudomonas syringae pv. lachrymans; bakteriozna mrljavost plodova lubenice, čiji je prouzrokovač Acidovorax citrulli; zatim bakteriozna pegavost koju prouzrokuje Xanthomonas cucurbitae; bakteriozna uvelost krastavca prouzrokovana vrstom Erwinia tracheiphila i žutilo vreža, čiji je prouzrokovač Serratia marcescens.

AB  - Candidatus Liberibacter solanacearumis a gram-negative bacterium restricted to plant phloem, associated with economically important diseases such as potato zebra chip and yellow decline and with vegetative disorders in carrots and celery. Over the past decade, the zebra chip disease resulted in major economic loses in the potato production of U.S.A., Mexico, Central America and New Zealand. Outbreaks of yellow decline and vegetative disorders in carrot and celery crops have been reported recently in geographically distant areas and the countries of Europe (Finland, Sweden, Norway, Spain, France and Germany). The infected plants showed symptoms including yellow, bronze or red leaf discoloration, reduced size of main root and lateral root proliferation. Given the importance of carrot production in Serbia, the goal of this review paper is to raise awareness about the disease occurrence and distribution, discuss the main characteristics of this relatively unknown pathogen, its detection and identification, epidemiology, symptomatology and disease management, before this emerging plant pathogenic organism reaches our country.

Kao patogen krompira 'Ca. L. solanacearum' poznat je već deceniju unazad u proizvodnim regionima Amerike i Novog Zelanda. Međutim, na evropskom kontinentu, prisustvo ove bakterije prvi put je potvrđeno na zaraženim biljkama mrkve i celera, što je ukazalo na širi krug domaćina ovog patogena.

AB  - Continuous use of copper-based treatments and antibiotics in pear and apple protection programs may result in appearance of copper or antibiotic resistant strains of Erwinia amylovora. In order to determine the potential occurrence of copper or/and antibiotic resistance in Serbia we studied in vitro effect of different concentrations of copper sulfate, streptomycin and kasugamycin on development and growth of 40 E. amylovora strains originating from this region. Filter sterilized solution of the bactericides was added to the NA medium after sterilization to a final concentration of 100 and 200 ppm, respectively, followed by spot inoculation of each strain on the medium. None of the strains developed on NA amended with 100 or 200 ppm of streptomycin or kasugamycin. Our study showed that, despite the potential exposure to the antibiotics, E amylovora strains from Serbia did not develop resistance to streptomycin or kasugamycin. On the other hand, all strains had normal growth on NA amended with 100 ppm of copper sulfate indicating certain level of resistance to copper ions. At 200 ppm, 28 strains formed colonies of normal size and appearance, while 12 strains had smaller colonies with reduced growth. This might be due to the extensive and frequent use of copper-based compounds to control fire blight in Serbia.

AB  - Grapevine crown gall caused by Allorhizobium vitis, or less frequently by Agrobacterium tumefaciens complex and Rhizobium rhizogenes, may seriously impact production in nurseries and vineyards worldwide. Although rapid and efficient detection and identification of tumorigenic bacteria is facilitated by PCR-based methods, high genetic diversity of these pathogens may hinder use of these methods in the disease diagnosis. Therefore, reliability of 11 primer pairs targeting fragments located on Ti plasmid or chromosomal DNA was tested on extensive collection of All. vitis, A. tumefaciens complex and R. rhizogenes strains isolated from grapevine throughout the world. Only primers VCF3/VCR3 targeting virC gene located on Ti plasmid clearly and accurately identified all tested tumorigenic strains associated with grapevine crown gall. Moreover, this primer pair coupled with primers specific for chromosomal pehA gene (PGF/PGR) in duplex PCR, may be recommended as the method of choice for routine preliminary identification of tumorigenic strains and differentiation of All.

AB  - Candidatus Liberibacter solanacearum (CaLsol) is a phloem-limited pathogen and it was found associated with the 'zebra chip' potato disease. This pathogen causes signifi cant economic losses by reducing the yield and quality of potato crops. It is widespread in commercial potato fi elds in USA, Mexico, Central America ,New Zealand. CaLsol can also affect other solanaceous crops, including tomato, pepper, eggplant, tamarillo. Recently, it was detected in several Northern European countries in carrot and celery crops. Chips made from zebra chip-infected tubers show dark stripes that become more visible upon frying, and are therefore commercially unacceptable. Bearing in mind the importance of potato production in our country, it is necessary to raise the awareness about the disease occurrence and distribution.
AB  - Među najznačajnijim štetnim organizmima koji ugrožavaju proizvodnju krompira od nedavno se ubraja fastidiozna bakterija 'Candidatus Liberibacter solanacearum' (CaLsol).

abstract = "Candidatus Liberibacter solanacearum (CaLsol) is a phloem-limited pathogen and it was found associated with the 'zebra chip' potato disease. This pathogen causes signifi cant economic losses by reducing the yield and quality of potato crops. It is widespread in commercial potato fi elds in USA, Mexico, Central America ,New Zealand. CaLsol can also affect other solanaceous crops, including tomato, pepper, eggplant, tamarillo. Recently, it was detected in several Northern European countries in carrot and celery crops. Chips made from zebra chip-infected tubers show dark stripes that become more visible upon frying, and are therefore commercially unacceptable. Bearing in mind the importance of potato production in our country, it is necessary to raise the awareness about the disease occurrence and distribution., Među najznačajnijim štetnim organizmima koji ugrožavaju proizvodnju krompira od nedavno se ubraja fastidiozna bakterija 'Candidatus Liberibacter solanacearum' (CaLsol).

AB  - AimsTo analyse genetic diversity and epidemiological relationships among 54 strains of Allorhizobium vitis isolated in Europe during an 8-year period and to assess the relative contribution of mutation and recombination in shaping their diversity. Methods and ResultsBy using random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) PCR, strains studied were distributed into 12 genetic groups. Sequence analysis of dnaK, gyrB and recA housekeeping genes was employed to characterize a representative subcollection of 28 strains. A total of 15 different haplotypes were found. Nucleotide sequence analysis suggested the presence of recombination events in A.vitis, particularly affecting dnaK locus. Although prevalence of mutation over recombination was found, impact of recombination was about two times greater than mutation in the evolution of the housekeeping genes analysed. ConclusionsThe RAPD analysis indicated high degree of genetic diversity among the strains. However, the most abundant RAPD group was composed of 35 strains, which could lead to the conclusion that they share a common origin and were distributed by the movement of infected grapevine planting material as a most common way of crossing long distances. Furthermore, it seems that recombination is acting as an important driving force in the evolution of A.vitis. As no substantial evidence of recombination was detected within recA gene fragment, this phylogenetic marker could be reliable to characterize phylogenetic relationships among A.vitis strains. Significance and Impact of the StudyWe demonstrated clear epidemiological relationship between majority of strains studied, suggesting a need for more stringent phytosanitary measures in international trade. Moreover, this is the first study to report recombination in A.vitis.

AB  - During the summer of 2014, watermelon producers in the north of Serbia (Srem district), observed the occurrence of irregularly shaped, water-soaked lesions on mature watermelon fruits indicating possible bacterial nature of the disease. Bacteria were isolated from symptomatic samples and identified as Acidovorax citrulli, previously described as a causal agent of bacterial fruit blotch. In the past few years, this pathogen caused considerable damage to the watermelon industry of the United States where, in some commercial production sectors, the loss of marketable fruit reached 90%. In Serbia, it is considered a quarantine pathogen and was not recorded until 2014.

AB  - During the last 3 years, crown gall disease was observed in some young raspberry plantations throughout Serbia, causing considerable economic losses. Based on biochemical and physiological tests, PCR targeting the 23S rRNA gene, and 16S rRNA and recA gene sequence analysis, at least two different species were identified as causal agents of disease. Out of 14 strains isolated from raspberry tumors, 12 were identified as tumorigenic Rhizobium rhizogenes, one belonged to Agrobacterium tumefaciens genomic species G8, while the remaining strain formed a separate phylogenetic lineage within A. tumefaciens species complex, different from all known genomic species. All strains investigated harbored nopaline-type of Ti plasmid and showed identical pathogenic properties by inoculating several test plants. However, they were divided into two genetic groups based on PCR-RFLP analysis of Ti plasmid virA-virB2 region. Furthermore, total of nine unique ERIC-PCR profiles were identified among the strains studied. Although strains of R. rhizogenes exhibited similar ERIC-PCR profiles, they were differentiated into six distinct genetic groups. Based on the fact that some genetic groups were composed of strains originating from different geographic areas, it can be assumed that they have a common origin and were probably disseminated by movement of infected plant material.

AB  - Two plant-tumorigenic strains KFB 330(T) and KFB 335 isolated from galls on raspberry (Rubus idaeus) in Serbia, and a non-pathogenic strain AL51.1 recovered from a cherry plum (Prunus cerasifera) tumor in Poland, were genotypically and phenotypically characterized. Phylogenetic reconstruction based on 16S rDNA placed them within the genus Agrobacterium, with A nepotum as their closest relative. Multilocus sequence analysis (MLSA) based on the partial sequences of atpD,glnA, gyrB, recA and rpoB housekeeping genes suggested that these three strains represent a new Agrobacterium species, that clustered with type strains of A. nepotum, A. radiobacter, "A fabrum" and A. pusense. This was further supported by average nucleotide identity values ( lt 92%) between the whole genome sequences of strain KFB 3301 and related Agrobacterium species. The major cellular fatty acids of the novel strains were 18:1 w7c (72.8-77.87%) and 16:0 (6.82-8.58%). Phenotypic features allowed their differentiation from closely related species. Polyphasic characterization showed that the three strains represent a novel species of the genus Agrobacterium, for which the name Agrobacterium arsenijevicii sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain ofA. arsenijevicii is KFB 330T (=CFBP 8308(T) = LMG 28674(T)).

AB  - In this study, three bacterial DNA extraction procedures were compared prior to real-time PCR. Healthy pear leaves and twigs were crushed in antioxidant maceration buffer and spiked with Erwinia amylovora to final concentrations from 2.1 x 10(6) to 2.1 x 10(1) cells ml(-1). Bacterial DNA was extracted from aliquots of spiked crude extracts using (i) isopropanol, (ii) REDExtract-N-Amp (TM) Plant PCR kit, and (iii) Taylor's modified DNA purification procedure. The ams region of the chromosomal DNA was selected as target for the real-time PCR. In this study, the REDExtract-N-Amp (TM) and Taylor's modified DNA extraction procedure were most successful in removing PCR inhibitors, leading to detection of 2.1x10(2) E. amylovora CFU/ml. At this concentration, pathogen can be efficiently detected in less than 5 h in spite of inhibitors and plant DNA reducing sensitivity of the reaction. These two methods increased amplification efficiency in real-time PCR compared to a simple isopropanol DNA extraction procedure from plant tissues, where the lowest detected concentration was 2.1 x 10(4) CFU/ml. In our research, real-time PCR has proven to be very sensitive method for detection of E. amylovora in plant material. It was 100 times more sensitive compared to other conventional PCR procedures.

AB  - In search for an alternative to chemical control of fire blight, we isolated seven bacteriophages specific to E. amylovora. Three phages were isolated from water, three from symptomless pear leaves and one from apple leaves with characteristic fire blight symptoms. Host-range studies showed that the phages differed in the ability to lyse 40 strains of E. amylovora isolated in Serbia. Based on its lytic activity, phage Phi Ea2 was chosen for further study of biological control potential in pear and apple blossom bioassays. A phage suspension of 10(8) PFU/ml was applied on blossoms either 2 h before, 2 h after or at the same time of inoculation. In three fully replicated bioassay experiments, application of host-specific phages 2 h before inoculation and at the time of inoculation significantly reduced fire blight symptom development compared to untreated control. However, disease reduction was not significant when phages were applied 2 h after inoculation.

AB  - Potato production provides one of the main sources for food production, processed either at home or by the industry. Plant diseases are often limiting factor in cultivation of this crop, leading to reduction of yield and tuber quality. Zebra chip disease, caused by a floem-limited bacterium, belonging to the genus Candidatus Liberibacter, is a new, economically important disease of potato and other solanaceous plants. It is widespread in commercial potato fields in USA, Mexico, Central America, New Zealand, and was recently reported in Europe. The disease reduces yield, but most significant damage occurs due to the symptom development on tubers and loss of their marketability. Given the importance of potato production in our country, the goal of this paper is to raise the awareness about the disease occurrence and distribution, discuss the main characteristics of this relatively unknown pathogen, detection and identification methods necessary for the successful and timely diagnosis, epidemiology, symptomatology and disease management.
AB  - Krompir je biljna vrsta čija proizvodnja ima veoma značajnu ulogu u obezbeđivanju hrane, a takođe i sirovine za industrijsku preradu. Pojava štetnih organizama neretko predstavlja ograničavajući faktor gajenja ove biljke, jer dovodi do smanjenja prinosa i pogoršanja kvaliteta krtola. Oboljenje nazvano zebrasti čips, koje prouzrokuje fastidiozna bakterija iz roda Candidatus Liberibacter, je novo, ekonomski značajno oboljenje biljaka iz familije Solanaceae, čiji je glavni domaćin krompir. Patogen, takođe, zaražava i srodne vrste kao što su paradajz i paprika. Ovo destruktivno oboljenje rasprostranjeno je u proizvodnim područjima Amerike, Novog Zelanda, a nedavno je otkriveno i na evropskom kontinentu. Kao posledica infekcije, dolazi do smanjenja prinosa zaraženih biljaka, dok najznačajnije štete nastaju usled pojave simptoma na krtolama i gubitka njihove tržišne vrednosti. S obzirom na značaj proizvodnje krompira, paradajza i paprike u našoj zemlji, cilj ovog rada je da se ukaže na pojavu i rasprostranjenost oboljenja, glavne karakteristike ovog malo poznatog patogena, metode detekcije i identifikacije neophodne za pouzdanu i pravovremenu dijagnozu oboljenja, epidemiologiju, simptomatologiju i mere zaštite.
