Details
| Description | Erwinia rhapontici is one of the few bacterial species that produces a distinct diffusible pink pigment on sucrose-peptone agar. It is an opportunistic plant pathogen that attacks a wide range of hosts causing pink seed and crown rot or soft rot.The bacterial cells are Gram-negative, straight, usually single, non-spore-forming, non-capsulate rods.Motile by peritrichous Flagella.There is no data found in genome and 187 Nucleotide sequences are available for this ogranism.For further information about sequences just click on link which is shown in "GenBank Accession section". |

| Habitat/Source | The bacteria have been isolated from water,soil,seeds and other plant tissue.It has been reported to occur in North America, Europe, Northeast Asia (Japan and Korea) and the Middle East (Israel). |
| Pathogenicity | The pathogen causes two kinds of plant diseases, pink seed and crown rot or soft rot, on more than 15 species of plants. Erwinia rhapontici causes a crown rot of rhubarb (Rheum rhaponticum) that extends into the center of the root, pink grain of wheat that will show a cavity below the hilum (Roberts, 1974) and internal browning of hyacinth bulbs, and occurs epiphytically and saprophytically in lesions caused by other bacteria (Sellwood and Lelliott,1978; Kokoskova, 1992).Rots potato, onion, and cucumber slices slowly, weakly, and erratically (Sellwood and Lelliott, 1978). |
