Application of Bacteria in Biological Control of Plant-Parasitic Nematodes
Mohammad Abdollahi, Negin Akramipoor,
Volume 3, Issue 2 (9-2014)
Abstract
Plant-parasitic nematodes are one of the most important pests worldwide and cause considerable economic loss to many of agricultural products. Some of soil inhabited nematodes are affected by some of antagonistic bacteria, so they can be used in biological control. Nematodes can be affected by bacteria in different ways such as direct suppression, promotion of plant growth, and facilitation of rhizosphere colonization. In overall, regarding to effect of soil inhabits bacteria on nematodes they can be classified as toxin producing, antibiotic producing and enzyme producing as well as plant growth promoting groups. Based on the recent researches, bacteria are divided to six groups including: parasitic bacteria (nematophagous bacteria), opportunistic parasitic bacteria, rhizobacteria, endophytic bacteria, symbionts of entomopathogenic nematodes and cry protein-forming bacteria. Combination of bacteria with some other antagonistic microorganisms was successful in control of plant parasitic nematodes.

Abstract
Khezri  M, Allahyari Igdir S, Aghazadeh Soureh Z (2021) Tomato bacterial diseases in West Azerbaijan province of Iran. Plant Pathology Science 10(1):86-96. Doi: 10.2982/PPS.10.1.86.
 
Introduction: Tomato is one of the most important and most widely consumed vegetable in the world. Tomato also is one of the most important products in West Azerbaijan Province of Iran, which plays an important role in the province's agricultural economy. Accurate bacterial disease diagnosis is the first and most important step in designation methods of disease management. Materials and Methods: Tomato farms in the suburbs of the province cities were visited and diseased plants were sampled. Bacteria were isolated and purified from patient tissues and identified based on phenotypic and molecular characteristics. The bacterial pathogenicity test was performed according to Koch principles. Results: Tomato bacterial pathogens in this province include Clavibacter michiganensis subsp. michiganensis, Xanthomonas vesicatoria, Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato, P. syringae pv. syringae and Dickya chrysanthemi, agents of bacterial canker,  bacterial spot, bacterial speck,  syringe leaf spot and soft stem rot. Disease symptoms, phenotypic and molecular properties of pathogenic bacteria, previous reports on these bacteria from Iran and their distribution in different regions of West Azerbaijan Province are presented. Conclusion: These bacteria, with the exception of the tomato bacterial canker agent, are reported for the first time from West Azerbaijan province.

Abstract
Selahvarzi, T., Abedy, B., & Beikzadeh, N. (2024). The impact of Osage orange fruit and leaf aqueous and ethanolic extracts on Erwinia amylovora, the cause of apple and pear fireblight. Plant Pathology Science, 13(1), 75-88.

Fire blight caused by Erwinia amylovora is one of the most important diseases of apple and pear trees in the world. The purpose of this research was to determine the antibacterial effect of the ethanolic and aqueous extracts of the fruit and leaf of the Osage orange (Maclura pomifera) against the cause of this disease. The effect of ethanolic and aqueous extracts of leaf and fruit of this plant on the growth of
E. amylovora colony in eight concentrations was tested by disk diffusion method. Antioxidant activity and total phenol of these extracts were also measured. The experiment was conducted as a factorial in a completely randomized design with four replications for each treatment in laboratory conditions. The results showed that the type of extract and plant organ are effective in the antibacterial properties, antioxidant activity, and the amount of total phenol. The ethanolic extract of the fruit, at a concentration of 1000 mg/ml with an average diameter 5.57 mm inhibitory halo had the highest inhibitory effect against E. amylovora, antioxidant activity, and total phenol content, while the aqueous extract of the fruit and the aqueous and ethanolic extracts of the leaf weren't significantly effective. Therefore, the ethanolic extract of Osage orange fruit has an inhibitory effect on the growth of E. amylovora colony and can be considered as a natural compound in the management of the disease.
