Significance of The Study

Bacterium Ralstonia solanacearum, previously known as Pseudomonas

solanacearum. It is one of the most destructive plant pathogens. Ralstonia
solanacearum is the pathogen responsible for wilting, yield losses, and
death in tomato plants.

Limitation of the Study

Ralstonia solanacearum is the pathogen that causes devastating bacterial
wilt in more than 200 plant species, including economically important crops
such as potatoes, tomatoes, peanuts, eggplants and bananas (Hayward,
1994; Mansfield et al., 2012; Col And Valls, 2013)).
Survival and overwintering of R. solanacearum in temperate regions
appears to rely on the infection of perennial reservoir host plants because
its persistence in the soil is limited (Olsson, 1976; Shamsuddin et al., 1978;
Elphinstone, 1996).
The interactions between R. solanacearum and its cultivated hosts have
been well-characterized, but little is known about the behavior of this
pathogen inside wild hosts. R. solanacearum inoculation on S. dulcamara
in laboratory conditions has been previously reported (Wenneker et al.,
1999; Álvarez et al., 2008b; Jacobs et al., 2013).
