Seven novel tailed lytic viruses (Ds3CZ, Ds5CZ, Ds9CZ, Ds16CZ, Ds20CZ, Ds23CZ, Ds25CZ) infecting the bacterium Dickeya solani were isolated in the Czech Republic. Genomes of these viruses are dsDNA, 149,364 to 155,285 bp in length, and the genome arrangement is very similar to that of the type virus Dickeya virus LIMEstone 1. All but the Ds25CZ virus should be regarded as strains of a single species. Most of the sequence differences are due to the presence or absence of homing endonuclease (HE) genes, with 23 HEs found in Ds3CZ, Ds5CZ, and Ds20CZ, 22 in Ds9CZ, 19 in Ds16CZ, 18 in Ds25CZ, and 15 in Ds23CZ.

one of the most aggressive pectinolytic phytopathogens, causes blackleg disease in potatoes, resulting in significant economic losses and adversely impacting one of the world's most important food crops. The diagnostics methods are critical in monitoring the latent infection for international trade of potato seed tubers and in implementation of control strategies. Our study employed a whole-genome comparative approach, identifying unique target gene loci (LysR and TetR family of transcriptional regulators gene regions) and designing loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) and a multi-gene-based multiplex TaqMan qPCR assays for specific detection and differentiation of .

Article Synopsis
  • - The endophytic bacterium Serratia plymuthica A30 is an effective biocontrol agent for potato tubers, showing strong resistance against soft rot pathogens like Dickeya solani, especially in cold conditions.
  • - A30 triggers early defense mechanisms in potato tubers by enhancing microbial recognition and activating detoxification pathways, while later inhibiting stress-related gene expression to promote a symbiotic relationship.
  • - The interaction between A30 and potato tubers suggests benefits such as maintaining dormancy and delaying sprouting, which could improve tuber durability during storage, highlighting its potential in managing soft rot pathogens.

The approach based on a combination of isothermal recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA), 2'-deoxyuridine-5'-triphosphate modified with tyrosine aromatic group (dUTP-Y1), and direct voltammetric detection of RPA product carrying electroactive labels was successfully applied to the potato pathogen Dickeya solani. The artificial nucleotide dUTP-Y1 demonstrated a good compatibility with RPA, enabling by targeting a section of D. solani genome with a unique sequence to produce the full-size modified products at high levels of substitution of dTTP by dUTP-Y1 (up to 80-90 %) in the reaction mixture.

Article Synopsis
  • Pseudomonas donghuensis P482 shows strong antimicrobial effects against the Dickeya genus, particularly under low nutrient conditions.
  • The antibacterial activity relies on two key iron scavengers - 7-hydroxytropolone (7-HT) and a newly identified pyoverdine (PVD), which are less effective in environments with excess iron.
  • The production of these substances is interconnected and regulated by specific genes and factors, emphasizing how nutrient and iron levels influence the competition between P. donghuensis P482 and its phytopathogen target, D. solani.
