Abstract:

The aim of this study was to isolate, identify Pseudomonas syringae pv. tagetis (Pst) from seeds of French marigold (Tagetes patula). A total of 25 bacterial pathogens were isolated and tested for basic biochemical and host tests. Results of basic biochemical and host tests primarily indicated the presence of Pseudomonas syringae pv. tagetis. The 16S rRNA gene sequencing was performed on PCR amplified product with 8F and 1492R primers. The two isolates Tp-03 and Tp-09 showing 99.34% and 99.20%, sequence homology with Pst strain LF2012 which was isolated from seeds of French marigold.


Keywords: 16s rRNA sequencing, Bacterial leaf spot
