Identification and population dynamics of bacteria in leaf spots of soybean
1992
Volksch, B. | Ullrich, M. | Fritsche, W.
The qualitative and quantitative composition of bacterial flora occurring inside the leaf spots of field grown soybeans was studied during the growing seasons (June to October) of 1989 and 1990. As a rule these leaf spots (necrotic lesions with chlorotic haloes) were caused by Pseudomonas syringae pv. glycinea. This pathogenic bacterium was predominantly found during the whole season in the symptomatic leaf tissue. Other species, mainly Erwinia herbicola, were also found in the same habitat. The population sizes of P. s. pv. glycinea increased from the beginning of symptom occurrence until July, stabilized until September, and then decreased a little. In general, the size of saprophytic populations was orders of magnitude lower than that of the pathogenic populations. The number of different bacterial genera per sample increased up to four genera per leaf spot by the end of the season. No significant influence of the occurring saprophytes on the population dynamics of the pathogen in planta could be observed.
