Efficacy of Soft-Rot Disease Biocontrol Agents in the Inhibition of Production Field Pathogen Isolates
The Dickeya and Pectobacterium bacterial species cause blackleg and soft-rot diseases on potato plants and tubers. Prophylactic actions are essential to conserve a high quality of seed potato tubers. Biocontrol approaches are emerging, but we need to know how efficient biocontrol agents are when fac...

description | The Dickeya and Pectobacterium bacterial species cause blackleg and soft-rot diseases on potato plants and tubers. Prophylactic actions are essential to conserve a high quality of seed potato tubers. Biocontrol approaches are emerging, but we need to know how efficient biocontrol agents are when facing the natural diversity of pathogens. In this work, we sampled 16 production fields, which were excluded from the seed tuber certification scheme, as well as seven experimental parcels, which were planted with seed tubers from those production fields. We collected and characterized 669 Dickeya and Pectobacterium isolates, all characterized using nucleotide sequence of the gapA gene. This deep sampling effort highlighted eleven Dickeya and Pectobacterium species, including four dominant species namely D. solani, D. dianthicola, P. atrosepticum and P. parmentieri. Variations in the relative abundance of pathogens revealed different diversity patterns at a field or parcel level. The Dickeya-enriched patterns were maintained in parcels planted with rejected seed tubers, suggesting a vertical transmission of the pathogen consortium. Then, we retained 41 isolates representing the observed species diversity of pathogens and we tested each of them against six biocontrol agents. From this work, we confirmed the importance of prophylactic actions to discard contaminated seed tubers. We also identified a couple of biocontrol agents of the Pseudomonas genus that were efficient against a wide range of pathogen species. |
