The speciesAcidovorax avenaecontains bacteria pathogenic to several crops: A. a.subsp.avenaeinfects oats, corn, rice, millet, and sugarcane; subsp.citrulliinfects watermelon and melon; and subsp.cattleyaeinfects orchid. Because these bacteria are closely related their proper identification requires expensive, time-consuming pathogenicity tests. To develop PCR assays for rapid identification of all species and subsp.citrulli, we sequenced the intergenic spacer region of the 16S–23S rDNA and designedavenae-specific and subsp.citrulli-specific classical primers and real-time primers and probes. Classicalavenae-specific primers Oafl/Oarl amplified a DNA product from all 46 strains of subsp.avenaeoriginating from foxtail, oats, corn, rice, sugarcane, and millet; the type strains of subsp.cattleyaefrom orchid; and 11 strains of subsp.citrullifrom watermelon. Real-timeavenae-specific primers Oafl/Oar2 and probe AaP1 reacted with all 40 strains of subsp.avenae, the type strain of subsp.cattleyae, and 8 strains of subsp.citrulli. Classicalcitrulli-specific primers Aacf2/Aacr2 and real-time primers Aacf3/Aacr2 and probe AaP2 amplified a PCR product from all 11 strains of subsp.citrulli, but not from any other strain of subsp.avenae. None of over 50 other bacteria tested generated a PCR product with either classical primers or real-time primers and probe. The species-specific classical primers Oafl/Oarl and real-time primers Oafl/Oar2 and probe AaP1 should prove useful for rapid identification ofA. avenaestrains from all hosts, whereas thecitrulli-specific classical primers Aacf2/Aacr2 and real-time primers Aacf3/Aacr2 and probe AaP2 should be useful for specific identification of subsp.citrulli.
