The potato rhizosphere microbiota correlated to the yield of three different regions in Korea.

We examined potato rhizosphere bacterial and fungal communities across three regions: Cheongju, Pyeongchang, and Gangneung. These regions have varying soil and climate conditions, resulting in different yields. We found that precipitation was the main limiting factor in our study while soil physiochemical factors affect bacterial and fungal microbiota in correlation with yield.

A New Approach Using the SYBR Green-Based Real-Time PCR Method for Detection of Soft Rot Pectobacterium odoriferum Associated with Kimchi Cabbage.

Pectobacterium odoriferum is the primary causative agent in Kimchi cabbage soft-rot diseases. The pathogenic bacteria Pectobacterium genera are responsible for significant yield losses in crops. However, P.

Development of a Bacteriophage Cocktail against Pectobacterium carotovorum Subsp. and Its Effects on Virulence.

Pectobacterium carotovorum subsp. is a necrotrophic plant pathogen that secretes plant cell wall-degrading enzymes (PCWDEs) that cause soft rot disease in various crops. Bacteriophages have been under consideration as harmless antibacterial agents to replace antibiotics and copper-based pesticides.

Comparative Genomic Analysis of Pathogenic Factors of Pectobacterium Species Isolated in South Korea Using Whole-Genome Sequencing.

In this study, we conducted whole-genome sequencing with six species of Pectobacterium composed of seven strains, JR1.1, BP201601.1, JK2.

First Report of Fusarium Wilt Caused by Fusarium equiseti on Cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. capitate L.) in Korea.

Cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. capitate L.) is an important vegetable crop that is widely cultivated throughout the world.

Distribution of Species Isolated in South Korea and Comparison of Temperature Effects on Pathogenicity.

, which causes soft rot disease, is divided into 18 species based on the current classification. A total of 225 strains were isolated from 10 main cultivation regions of potato (), napa cabbage ( subsp. ), and radish () in South Korea; 202 isolates (90%) were from potato, 18 from napa cabbage, and five from radish.

Biocontrol of Pectobacterium carotovorum subsp. carotovorum using bacteriophage PP1.

Pectobacterium carotovorum subsp. carotovorum (formerly Erwinia carotovora subsp. carotovora) is a plant pathogen that causes soft rot and stem rot diseases in several crops, including Chinese cabbage, potato, and tomato.
