Article Synopsis
  • - A significant outbreak of bacterial pith necrosis in tomatoes occurred in August 2023 in Yunnan Province, China, affecting over 40% of the plants in a single greenhouse, causing symptoms like waterlogged rot and wilting of leaves.
  • - The pathogen was isolated using various microbiological techniques, including disinfection, tissue immersion, and culturing on specific agar media, leading to the identification of a strain called Kv4.
  • - Biochemical tests and DNA sequencing revealed strain Kv4’s characteristics, aligning it closely with a known species, confirming its identity through high sequence similarity in the 16S rDNA and other genes.

Background: Virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) is a reverse genetics technology that can efficiently and rapidly identify plant gene functions. Although a variety of VIGS vectors have been successfully used in plants, only a few reports on VIGS technology in Luffa exist.

Results: In the present study, a new cucumber green mottle mosaic virus (CGMMV)-based VIGS vector, pV190, was applied to establish the CGMMV-VIGS to investigate the feasibility of the silencing system for Luffa.
