C6 volatile compounds are known to be produced by the plant upon pathogen attack or other stress-related events. The biological activity of many of these substances is poorly understood, but some might produce signal molecules important in host–pathogen interactions. In this research we explored the possibility that lipid-derived C6 volatiles have a direct effect on bacterial plant pathogens. To this purpose we used a unique tool, a bacterium genetically engineered to bioluminesce. Light-producing genes from a fish-associated bacterium were introduced into Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris, enabling nondestructive detection of bacteria in vitro and in the plant with special computer-assisted camera equipment. The effects of different C6 volatiles (trans-2 hexanal, trans-2 hexen-1-ol and cis-3 hexenol) on growth of bioluminescent Xanthomonas campestris were investigated. Different volatile concentrations were used. Treatment with trans-2 hexanal appeared bactericidal at low concentrations (1% and 10%), while treatments with the other volatiles were not inhibitive to bacterial growth. The implications of these results with respect to practical use of trans-2 hexanal in pathogen susceptible and resistant plants will be discussed.

Common bacterial blight (CBB), bacterial brown spot (BBS), and halo blight (HB), incited by the bacterial pathogens Xanthomonas campestris pv. phaseoli (Smith) Dye, Pseodomonas syringae pv. syringa, and Pseudomonas syringae pv. phaseolicola, respectively are important diseases of common bean. In addition three fungal pathogens, web blight (WB) Thanatephorus cucumeris, rust Uromyces appendiculatus, and white mold (WM) Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, are also destructive diseases attacking common bean. Bean common mosaic virus is also one of most major virus disease. Resistance genes (QTLs and major genes) to three bacterial (CBB, BBS, and HB), three fungal (WB, rust, and WM), and one viral pathogen (BCMV) were previously mapped in two common bean populations (BAC 6 × HT 7719 and Belneb RR-1 × A55). The objective of this research was to use an integrated RAPD map of the two populations to compare the positions and effect of resistance QTL in common bean. Results indicate that two chromosomal regions associated with QTL for CBB resistance mapped in both populations. The same chromosomal regions associated with QTL for disease resistance to different pathogens or same pathogens were detected in the integrated population.
