Avetysian Y. Biotechnological aspects of diagnosis and pathogenesis of bacterial diseases of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.)

Dissertation work is dedicate to research bacterial diseases, the development of rapid and reliable diagnosis of pathogens biotechnological methods, screening potential protective tomato plants. Established the feasibility of using phytotoxic metabolites of C. michiganensis subsp. michiganensis, P. syringae pv. tomato and X. vesicatoria for selecting genotypes with increased resistance of tomato in conditions in vitro. The proposed biotechnology scheme selection genotypes of tomato plants with enhanced resistance to several bacterial diseases. Shown correlation improve the stability of tomato varieties Samson phytotoxic metabolites by the action in terms of in vitro and in planta. Outlined dynamics of bacterial speck in fruit tomato plants with enhanced resistance to P. syringae pv. tomato. For the first time demonstrated the feasibility of using primers CMM5/CMM6, P1/P2 and RST2/RST3 for the diagnosis and identification of bacterial canker, bacterial spot and bacterial speck of tomato in Ukraine PCR.
