Abstract

Sweet cherry (Prunus avium L.) is one of the most important fruit
trees grown in Tekirdağ. Bacterial canker which
reduces yield and quality of sweet cherry
fruit and cause death of trees were investigated. For
this
purpose a survey study was conducted in 2012-2013 and 129 plant tissue samples were
collected from symptomatic trees. As a result of survey studies, bacterial canker
was determined in all orchards
and diseases prevalence rate of bacterial canker was determined
as 20-57%. Severity of disease was
measured as 20-85% in Tekirdağ Province
depending on orchards. As a
result of laboratory studies 41
bacterial isolates of Pseudomonas syringae
were obtained. As a result of classical and molecular identification tests, 23 isolates were identified as Pseudomonas
syringae pv.
morsprunorum and
18 out of 41 isolates were identified as a Pseudomonas syringae pv. syringae.
