Potato cultivars susceptible to common scab were previously reported to harbor five to six
times more abundant pathogenic Streptomyces spp. in the rhizosphere soils compared with …

Potato cultivars vary in their tolerance to common scab; however, how they affect common
scab-causing Streptomyces spp. populations over time is poorly understood. This study …

Improved knowledge and a better understanding of the functions of bacterial communities
are vital for effective crop disease management. This study was conducted to study a …

Eight genotypes of potato plants with different resistance levels against common scab were
grown in a field infested with Streptomyces turgidiscabies. DNA was extracted from the roots …

Naturally-occurring disease-suppressive soils provide control of plant pathogens via the
activities of indigenous microbes. While all soils contain antagonistic microbes, there is little …

Disease suppressive soils are important for managing soil-borne diseases that cannot be
controlled with chemicals. One such disease is the potato common scab caused by …

Potato common scab is an important bacterial plant disease caused by numerous
Streptomyces species and strains. A better understanding of the genetic diversity and …

Streptomyces isolates were obtained from potato tubers with common scab lesions from 2
fields over a 3 year period in Minnesota and a 5 year period in Maine. Isolates were …

Connections between the structure of bacterial communities in suppressive soils and potato
resistance to common scab (CS) are not well understood. In this study, one resistant and …

A field in East Lansing, MI, showed a decline of potato common scab compared with an
adjacent potato field. To confirm that the decline was due to biological factors, the soil was …
