DETECTION OF RHIZOBIUM VITIS AND R. RADIOBACTER STRAINS BY PCR WITH THE PRIMERS TO DIFFERENT GENOME SEQUENCES

Abstract

Pathogenic Rhizobium vitis and R. radiobacter strains in symptomless plants and grapevine tumors were revealed by PCR technique. The comparative tests with five primer pairs to different siquences of bacterial genome were carried out. It was shown that in plants of Cabernet Sauvignon cultivar 18.5% from total Rhizobium population were represented by pathogenic strains.
