Abstract

Ralstonia solanacearum causes a lethal bacterial wilt in more than 400 plant species that includes several agronomically important crops such as tomato, eggplant, potato, etc. Usually grown up tomato plants are used as model host to study its virulence functions. Recently we have demonstrated that cotyledon stage seedlings of tomato as well as eggplant can be used to study R. solanacearum virulence functions. In this review we are summarizing our recent understanding of R. solanacearum pathogenicity by using seedlings as model host.
