Soil And Root Populations Of Fluorescent Pseudomonas Spp. Associated With Seedlings And Field-Grown Plants Are Affected By Sorghum Genotype, Deanna L. Funnell-Harris, Jeffrey F. Pedersen, Scott E. Sattler

Department of Plant Pathology: Faculty Publications

Sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] is valued for bioenergy, feed and food. Potential of sorghum genotypes to support differing populations of root- and soil-associated fluorescent Pseudomonas spp. or Fusarium spp., in two soils, was assessed. Culturable pseudomonads were enumerated from roots and soil of sorghum (Redlan and RTx433) and wheat (Lewjain) seedlings repeatedly grown in cycled soils in the growth chamber. Pseudomonads and Fusarium spp. were assessed from roots and soil of field-grown sorghum along with biological control traits hydrogen cyanide (HCN) and 2,4-diacetylphlorogluconol (phl) production. After four 4-week cycles, soil associated with Redlan seedlings had greater numbers …
