Abstract:

Since 2015, a new type of soft rot disease has been discovered in Chinese cabbage production in Harbin City. This disease has been increasing year by year, and the pathogen was identified as Pantoea agglomerans. In this study, P. agglomerans was used as the inoculant. The single-factor experiment was conducted to determine the optimal inoculation temperature, and the L9(34) orthogonal experiment was designed to investigate the effects of seedling age, humidity, and inoculation method. The single-factor experiment of inoculation concentration was carried out using 3 different varieties with varying resistance levels in the field. The aim was to establish a resistance identification method for Chinese cabbage against P. agglomerans during the seedling stage and evaluate the germplasm resistance based on this method. The results showed that the optimal conditions for inoculation were a temperature of 25-30 ℃, a seedling age of 7-8 leaves, and a relative humidity of 90%-100%. The recommended inoculation method was using a sterilized knife to scratch 3 small wounds and then dropping 30 μL of bacteria liquid with a concentration of 1×1012 CFU·mL-1. Using this method, 2 highly resistant and 4 resistant Chinese cabbage germplasm resources were identified from a total of 20 accessions. These research findings could provide valuable references for disease-resistant breeding of Chinese cabbage.
