Abstract A description is provided for Erwinia stewartii[Pantoea stewartii subsp. stewartii]. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS: On Zea mays, Euchlarna mexicana and Tripsacum dactyloides. Artificial inoculation has been successful on Coix lachryma-jobi, Euchlaena perennis, Schlerachne punctata and Setaria lutescens[Setaria pumila]. Poos (19: 467), using insects, showed that various common plants could act as symptomless hosts. DISEASE: Stewart's disease or bacterial wilt of maize. A vascular disease in which the vessels become plugged with bright yellow slime. If stems are cut across the slime will often exude. Affected plants are dwarfed, have pale stripes on the leaves, and may have prematurely developed tassels which wither and die before the rest of the plant. Some plants wilt progressively and die, others survive and bear seed which may be infected. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Mainly in North and Central America, but has also been reported from Italy, Poland, Rumania, U.S.S.R., Yugoslavia, China, Peru and, recently, from Thailand (45, 3508). (CMI Map 41, ed. 2, 1965). TRANSMISSION: Mainly by insects. In the United States spread of the disease is chiefly due to Chaetocnerna pulicaria, which conveys the bacteria from leaf to leaf and also retains the bacteria during hibernation. After mild winters this insect is responsible for the early infection of much young maize. Various other insects have been shown either to harbour the pathogen or to be able to transmit it. These include the larvae of Diabrotica longicornis and Phorbia cilicrura[Delia platura] which can carry the bacteria from root to root and from infected to healthy seed (12: 364; 16: 167). The bacteria are also carred into new areas in infected seed.

Jackfruit bronzing, an unreported disease affecting jackfruit is characterized by yellowish-orange to reddish discoloration of the affected pulps and rags of the fruit. The etiology of this disease, its isolation, pathogenicity, characterization and identification is the scope of this study. The pathogen was isolated from infected jackfruit, pathogenicity was conducted to detached and attached fruits. The pathogen was identified based on its cultural and morphological characteristics, staining reactions, physiological and biochemical characteristics, other plant inoculations and DNA analysis using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The bacterium produces yellow pigment in culture, Gram negative, slightly pleomorphic non-motile, facultatively anaerobic short-rods, measuring 1- 2 um in length, catalase positive, hydrolyzes gelatin and starch but not tween 80, produces acid from glucose, galactose, fructose and sucrose but not from lactose and maltose. It did not produce hypersensitivity to tobacco, caused pits on potato discs but not soft rot. It infected pineapple fruits causing localized lesions and infected corn producing the same symptom as bacterial wilt or Stewart's disease. PCR analysis confirmed the cause as Pantoea stewartii or (Pantoea stewartii subsp. Stewartii (Smith) Mergaert et al)., formerly Erwinia stewartii (Smith) Dye.

One hundred twenty-four bacterial isolates originating from sweet corn or corn flea beetles in the northeastern, midwestern, and mid-Atlantic United States were verified as Erwinia stewartii (Pantoea stewartii subsp. stewartii) and characterized phenotypically by their respiratory response to 91 carbon sources. The unweighted pair group method of averages (UPGMA) was used to construct a dendrogram that revealed homogeneous metabolic profiles at 93% similarity. Two-thirds of the isolates formed 18 separate groups, each sharing the same metabolic profile. One-third of the isolates had distinct metabolic profiles. Most groups shared either isolation source, geographical location, and/or year of isolation. Members of some groups persisted through time and had been isolated from diverse geographical locations. Four representative strains of the proposed Pantoea stewartii subsp. indologenes were also characterized; their metabolic profiles were most similar to those of Erwinia herbicola (Pantoea agglomerans).
