520 |a Petunia hybrida is commonly cultivated for ornamental use in urban parks greening and street embellishment in China. In March 2022, 60% of P. hybrida plants cv. Wave Purple (n≈1800) from an ornamental plant nursery under natural conditions in Tianhe district (N 113°21'21", E 23°9'3.5"), Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, China, were affected with soft rot disease. The distribution of the disease was generally uniform. Infected plants initially exhibit small water-soaked lesions at the base of the stem, which then extended to the leaves. Eventually the diseased plant collapsed and died. Nine diseased plants were collected, and affected tissues cut into small fragments (5 × 5 mm), which were disinfested in 75% ethanol (30 s) and 2% sodium hypochlorite (60 s), followed by three rinses with sterile distilled water. The sterilized sections were macerated in 200 μl sterile water, and streaked on Luria-Bertani (LB) agar medium and incubated at 28°C for 48 h. Single colonies were restreaked three times to obtain purified isolation. Sixteen bacterial strains with similar morphology were isolated, and their colonies were yellowish white, round, and convex with smooth surfaces on LB agar plate. The representative strain BDQ1 was selected for further analyses and the 16S rDNA gene (GenBank Accession ON982467) were amplified using primer pair 27F/1492R, revealed above 99% sequence identity with some Pectobacterium brasiliense isolates (GenBank Accession Nos. CP046380(1421/1422), MN393966(1419/1422), and CP020350(1419/1422)) using BLASTn. A multilocus phylogenetic analysis by neighbor-joining method (1,000 bootstrap values) based on six housekeeping gene sequences of gyrA (GenBank Accession No. ON995454), icdA (ON995455), mdh (ON995456), mtlD (ON995457), proA (ON995458), and rpoS genes (ON995459) (Ma et al. 2007; Waleron et al., 2008). The results of phylogenetic analysis showed BDQ1 strain belong to the P. brasiliense clade. Pathogenicity tests were performed on ten healthy P. hybrida cv. Wave Purple plants by injecting 10 µl of bacterial suspensions of BDQ1 (108 CFU/ml) into the stems; another 10 healthy control plants were injected with 10 µl of sterile water. All plants were grown at 25-30°C and 60% humidity in natural light/dark cycle. After 3 d, all inoculated plants showed soft rot symptoms resembling to those observed in the nursery, while control plants remained healthy. Bacteria were successfully reisolated from the symptomatic tissues and identified to be P. brasiliense by PCR mentioned above. P. brasiliense is considered a very aggressive pathogen, which has been reported in Eurasia and Africa (Oulghazi et al. 2021). To our knowledge, this is the first report of P. brasiliense causing bacterial soft rot on P. hybrida in China. This pathogen may pose threat to P. hybrida production in area with warmand humid climate in China. The current study expands the known host range of P. brasiliense and helped raise attention on controlling pathogen spread
