Scab disease significantly damages potato and other root crops. Streptomyces scabiei, S. acidiscabiei, and S. turgidiscabiei are the best-known causal agents of this disease. We have developed a novel genotyping method for these potato scab pathogens using multiplex PCR, whose benefits include rapid and easy detection of multiple species. We designed a species-specific primer set (6 primers, 3 pairs) for the 16S rRNA genes and 16S-23S ITS regions of these potato scab pathogens. The specificity of the primer set was confirmed by testing 18 strains containing potato scab pathogens, other Streptomyces species, and strains of other genera. The application of the developed method to potato field soil and potato tissue samples resulted in the clear detection and identification of pathogens. Since this method is applicable to a large number of environmental samples, it is expected to be useful for a high-throughput analysis of soil and plant tissues of scab disease.

A pathogen strain responsible for sweet potato stem and foliage scab disease was isolated from sweet potato stems. Through a phylogenetic analysis based on the rDNA internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region, combined with morphological methods, the isolated strain was identified as To comprehensively analyze the pathogenicity of the isolated strain from a genetic perspective, the whole-genome sequencing of HD-1 was performed using both the PacBio and Illumina platforms. The genome of HD-1 is about 26.

Aims: Potato common scab (CS), caused by pathogenic Streptomyces, is a devastating disease affecting potato crops worldwide. Antagonistic microorganisms have been used as biological control agents to inhibit Streptomyces scabies and reduce the use of synthetic pesticides. However, identifying beneficial microorganisms for controlling CS remains undetermined.

Pectate lyases (PL), as important polysaccharide lyases, play an important role in the infection of host plants by pathogenic. A previous study found that the PL gene was up-regulated in the interaction between 5T-1 and potatoes. In this study, 5T-1 was used as the study object, and its gene function was investigated using bioinformatics analysis, prokaryotic expression, and CRISPR-Cas9 technology.

The prolonged practice of continuous potato cropping, coupled with inadequate field management, disrupts the soil bacterial community equilibrium. Such disturbances compromise the resilience of the soil ecosystem, predisposing it to an increased incidence of potato diseases. However, the effects of the phosphorus fertiliser application rate on the rhizosphere soil bacterial community composition of potatoes and the occurrence of potato common scab (CS) have not been adequately studied.

Article Synopsis
- Streptomyces scabiei causes common scab in root and tuber crops and exhibits antimicrobial properties influenced by peptone levels.
- Comparative metabolomics revealed that increased peptone led to enhanced production of siderophores, which are molecules that help inhibit the growth of competing microorganisms by sequestering iron.
- The study also found that different nitrogen sources can trigger siderophore production, impacting competition for iron among soil-dwelling microbes and possibly affecting plant pathogens.
