摘要

Stalk and bulb decay of garlic (Allium sativum L.) was observed in commercial fields in Jiroft County, Kerman Province, Iran. The causal agent was isolated from symptomatic plants and identified as Rahnella perminowiae based on its morphological and biochemical characteristics and confirmed by specific primers and sequence analysis of 16S rRNA, gyrB and atpD genes. The pathogenicity of the isolates was confirmed twice through inoculation experiments on garlic and onion leaves and bulbs, which resulted in the reproduction of symptoms and re-isolation of R. perminowiae. This is the first report of stalk and bulb decay of garlic caused by R. perminowiae.
