Abstract
-
Citrus melanose is one of the most important diseases in
orchards cultivating citrus in the world. Although the disease
does not cause yield loss, the profitability of the infected
fruits is often reduced in the fresh-market, resulting in economic
loss. In this study, disease reduction was proven by
pre-treatment with Pseudomonas putida strain THJ609-3.
In order to illustrate mechanism of the disease reduction by
the bacterial strain, the infection behaviors of Diaporthe citri
and necrosis deposit of plant tissue were observed using a
fluorescence microscope. On the leaves pre-treated with the
strain THJ609-3, germination rates of D. citri conidia were
significantly decreased compared to those of the untreated
control. Scanning electron microscopical observations showed
that bacterial cells were attached to the surface of fungal hyphae.
Furthermore, morphological change of germ tubes of
the conidia was detected. These results suggest that the disease
reduction may be caused by the direct antifungal activity
of the bacterial strain on the leaf surfaces.
