Endophytic bacterial communities in the periderm of potato tubers and their potential to improve resistance to soil-borne plant pathogens.
1999-06-01
Abstract excerpt
To evaluate whether the location of bacterial endophyte communities contributes to disease resistance in potato tubers (Solanum tuberosum), the population density, biodiversity and antibiotic activity of endophytic bacteria was examined from the tuber peel (periderm plus top 3 mm of tissue) of four cultivars (Russet Burbank, Kennebec, Butte and Shepody). There were no significant differences for population density...
