Bacterial Leaf Blight
Bacteria (; singular: bacterium) are ubiquitous, mostly free-living organisms often consisting of one biological cell. They constitute a large domain of prokaryotic microorganisms. Typically a few micrometres in length, bacteria were among the first life forms to appear on Earth, and are present in most of its habitats. Bacteria inhabit soil, water, acidic hot springs, radioactive waste, and the deep biosphere of Earth's crust. Bacteria are vital in many stages of the nutrient cycle by recycling nutrients such as the fixation of nitrogen from the atmosphere. The nutrient cycle includes the decomposition of dead bodies; bacteria are responsible for the putrefaction stage in this process. In the biological communities surrounding hydrothermal vents and cold seeps, extremophile bacteria provide the nutrients needed to sustain life by converting dissolved compounds, such as hydrogen sulphide and methane, to energy. Bacteria also live in symbiotic and parasitic relationships w ...

Acidovorax Oryzae
''Acidovorax oryzae'' is a bacterium from the Comamonadaceae family which is closely related to '' Acidovorax citrulli''. ''Acidovorax oryzae'' was reclassificated from the former name Acidovorax avenae subsp. avenae. It has been shown that ''Acidovorax oryzae'' is serious pathogen fore rice ( Oryza sativa). Etymology ''A. oryzae'' comes from the Latin genus "oryzae" which means rice. ''A.oryzae'' is causal agent of ''bacterial brown stripe'' on rice.

Cucurbitaceae
The Cucurbitaceae, also called cucurbits or the gourd family, are a plant family consisting of about 965 species in around 95 genera, of which the most important to humans are: *'' Cucurbita'' – squash, pumpkin, zucchini, some gourds *'' Lagenaria'' – calabash, and others that are inedible *'' Citrullus'' – watermelon (''C. lanatus'', ''C. colocynthis'') and others *'' Cucumis'' – cucumber (''C. sativus''), various melons and vines *'' Momordica'' – bitter melon *'' Luffa'' – the common name is also luffa, sometimes spelled loofah (when fully ripened, two species of this fibrous fruit are the source of the loofah scrubbing sponge) *'' Cyclanthera'' – Caigua The plants in this family are grown around the tropics and in temperate areas, where those with edible fruits were among the earliest cultivated plants in both the Old and New Worlds. The family Cucurbitaceae ranks among the highest of plant families for number and percentage of species used as human food ...

Bacterial Fruit Blotch
Bacterial fruit blotch (BFB) affects cucurbit plants around the world and can be a serious threat to farmers because it spreads through contaminated seed. BFB is the result of an infection by Gram-negative ''Acidovorax citrulli'' bacteria, which has only been recently studied in detail. Members of A. citrulli are Gram-negative rod shaped bacteria with the dimensions 0.5× 1.7 μm. They move via polar flagella. No known reliable sources of BFB resistance exist today, so seed hygiene and thorough testing of breeding facilities are the best way to control spreading. No known control methods, however, are extremely reliable for reducing BFB infection.F.C.Q Carvalho, Santos, L.A., Dias, R.C.S., Mariano, R.L.R., and Souza, E.B. (2012). Selection of watermelon genotypes for resistance to bacterial fruit blotch. Euphytica. 190:169-180. Hosts and symptoms ''A. citrulli'' causes disease in the family Cucurbitaceae, with the most significant losses in melon and watermelon. It also affects ...

Acidovorax Avenae
''Acidovorax citrulli'' (formerly ''A. avenae'' subsp. ''citrulli'' (Williems et al., 1992)) is a Gram-negative, biotrophic bacterium causes seedling blight and bacterial fruit blotch (BFB) of cucurbits The Cucurbitaceae, also called cucurbits or the gourd family, are a plant family consisting of about 965 species in around 95 genera, of which the most important to humans are: *'' Cucurbita'' – squash, pumpkin, zucchini, some gourds *'' La .... On the basis of carbon source utilization, DNA-fingerprinting profiles, whole-cell fatty-acid composition utilization and pathogenicity assays, A. citrulli is divided into two distinct groups (Walcott et al., 2004; Burdman et al., 2005; Bahar & Burdman, 2010). The group I strains are mainly associated with non-watermelon plants (mainly melon), while group II includes strains that were mainly isolated from watermelon. BFB is a sporadic disease but under favorable environment, it becomes devastating and may cause 100% loss of market ...
