Abstract

Ralstonia solanacearum, a causal agent of bacterium wilt is very difficult to control once the disease becomes endemic. Thus, Ralstonia solanacearum is a plant quarantine bacterium in many countries including Korea. In this study, we developed PCR assays, which can detect Ralstonia solanacearum from the Solanaceae seeds. Primers RS-JH-F and RS-JH-R amplified specifically a 401 bp fragment only from Ralstonia solanacearum race 1 and race 3. The nested PCR primers, RS-JH-F-ne and RS-JH-R-ne that were designed inside of 1st PCR amplicon amplified specifically a 131 bp fragment only from Ralstonia solanacearum race 1 and race 3. The primers did not amplify any non-specific DNA from the seed extracts of the Solanaceae including tomato and pepper. When detection sensitivity were compared using the Solanaceae seeds inoculated with target bacteria artificially, the nested PCR method developed in this study 100 times more sensitive than ELISA and selective medium. Therefore, we believe that the PCR assays developed in this work is very useful to detect Ralstonia solanacearum in the Solanaceae seeds.

Ralstonia solanacearum은 풋마름병(bacterial wilt)을 일으키는 종자 전염 병원세균으로 한번 발생하면 방제가 매우 어려운 병이다. 따라서 Ralstonia solanacearum는 한국을 비롯한 여러 나라에서 식물검역병으로 지정되어있다. 본 연구에서는 가지과 종자로부터 Ralstonia solanacearum 검출할 수 있는 PCR 방법을 개발하였다. 프라이머 RSJH-F와 RS-JH-R는 오직 Ralstonia solanacearum race 1, 3으로부터 401 bp 크기의 DNA를 증폭하였다. 1차 PCR 증폭산물의 내부에서 디자인 된 nested PCR 프라이머인 RS-JH-F-ne and RS-JH-R-ne는 오직 Ralstonia solanacearum로부터 131 bp 크기의 DNA를 증폭하였다. 이들 프라이머들은 토마토, 고추를 포함한 가지과 종자 추출액으로부터 어떤 비특이적 DNA도 증폭하지 않았다. 인공적으로 병원균을 접종한 가지과 종자를 이용하여 병원균 검출 민감도를 비교하였을 때, 본 연구에서 개발한 nested PCR 방법이 ELISA나 반선택배지보다 100배 높은 민감도를 보여주었다. 따라서, 본 연구에서 개발한 PCR 방법들은 가지과 종자로부터 Ralstonia solanacearum를 검출하는 매우 유용한 방법으로 생각된다.
