Abstract

Typical bacterial symptoms, water-soaking brown and black leaf spots with yellow halo, were observed on watermelon seedlings in nursery and field of Gyeongnam and Jeonnam provinces. Bacterial isolates from the lesion showed strong pathogenicity on watermelon and zucchini. One of them was rod-shaped with 4 polar flagella by observation of transmission electron microscopy. They belonged to LOPAT group 1. The phylogenical trees with nucleotide sequences of 16S rRNA and multi-locus sequencing typing with the 4 house-keeping genes (gapA, gltA, gyrB, and rpoD) of the isolates showed they were highly homologous to Pseudomonas syringae pv. syringae and grouped together with them, indicating that they were appeared as P. syringae genomospecies group 1. Morphological, physiological, and genetical characteristics of the isolates suggested they are P. syringae pv. syringae. We believe this is the first report that P. syringae pv. syringae caused leaf spot disease on watermelon in the Republic of Korea.

경남과 전남의 육묘중인 수박과 정식한 포장의 유묘에서 황색의 둘레무리와수침상의 갈색 및 검은색의 반점의 병반이 관찰되었다. 병반에서 분리한 분리균은 수박과 쥬키니에서 높은 병원성을 보여주었다, 분리균은 4개의 속생모를 가진 막대형 세균이었다. 분리균은 그람음성으로 LOPAT group 1a에 속하였으며, King'B 배지에서 형광성이 없었다. 16S rRNA 유전자 염기서열을 이용한 계통수 분석과 4개의 항존유전자 염기서열(gapA, gltA, gyrB, rpoD)을 이용한 multi-locus sequencing typing 분석 결과 분리균들은 Pseudomonas syringae pv. syringae와 가장 높은 상동성을 보여주었고, 같은 그룹(clade)으로 묶이었다. 또한 이들은 P. syringae genomospecies group 1에 속하였다. 수박의 잎점무늬병징에서 분리한 세균의 형태적, 생리적, 유전적 특징은 이들이 P. syringae pv. syringae임을 제시한다. 본 논문은 한국에서 P. syringae pv. syringae가 수박에서 점무늬병을 일으키는 최초의 보고이다.
