Infection of Potato Tubers with the Common Scab Pathogen Streptomyces scabiei in a Soil-less System

Hydroponic production enabled precise identification of individual tuber development. Direct inoculation of tubers with a spore suspension of S. scabiei resulted in disease development, demonstrating that infection could be initiated in a soil-less media. Tubers were most susceptible to infection between 3 and 20 days after tuber initiation, confirming that this early period of tuber formation is critical to disease development. © 2009 Blackwell Verlag GmbH.
