The susceptibility of thirty-three pear cultivars and two pear rootstocks to four virulent strains of Pseudomonas syringae pv. syringae was evaluated by inoculating detached immature fruits and young leaves. The four strains were similarly virulent and did not show cultivar specificity although they were isolated from different pear cultivars and exhibited different biochemical profiles. The most frequently planted pear cultivars, Conference, Abate Fetel, General Leclerc, Williams, D. Comice, El Dorado, Alexandrine, B. Anjou, Passe Crassane and the rootstock OHxF 333 were susceptible to P. syringae pv. syringae. Maximal severity values were obtained on 'Preguystar' leaves ( about 90%). The rootstockWinter Nelis was less susceptible. Results with immature fruit and detached leaf assays agreed with field observations on cultivar susceptibility to bacterial blast. However, the detached leaf test gave a more accurate prediction and has the advantages that symptoms develop quickly ( 48 h), and leaves are available for a longer period of time than fruits. This method is proposed as a rapid and reproducible screening system of cultivar susceptibility to bacterial blast of pear.
