Abstract:

Pomegranate, one of the most important fruit crops, is constantly challenged by Bacterial blight caused by Xanthomonas axonopodispv. punicae, is a prevalent and destructive pomegranate disease. Accurate diagnosis of disease is very important to manage the disease. PCR have been widely used to detect or verify the presence of pathogen in recent decades. These molecular-based methods are rapid, accurate and sensitive for detecting pathogens. In this study, a primer set KKM5 and KKM6 was used and amplification of 491bp of gyrB gene proved the presence of Xap. The pathogenicity of the Xap was confirmed following Koch’s postulates.


Keywords: Pomegranate, bacterial blight, pathogenisity, polymerase chain reaction
