Abstract
Summary: Ralstonia solanacearum Taxonomy: Bacteria; Proteobacteria; β subdivision; Ralstonia group; genus Ralstonia Microbiological properties: Gram‐negative, aerobic, motile rod. Disease symptoms: Agent of bacterial wilt of solanaceous plants, which appears as a sudden wilt. Typically, stem cross‐sections ooze a whitish bacterial exudate. R. solanacearum is also the agent of the Moko disease of banana and brown rot of potato. Disease control: Pathogen‐free seed and transplants. Few resistant and tolerant plant lines. Sanitation and cultural rotations. Useful web sites: http://ibws.nexenservices.com/; http://sequence.toulouse.inra.fr/R.solanacearum.htmlKeywords
