Abstract
Rose crown gall caused by <i>Agrobacterium tumefaciens</i> is a major disease that damages the production of cut-roses in Korea. The effective prevention methods for this disease include the use of resistant varieties. This study was conducted to evaluate the resistance of 58 Korean cultivars and six foreign cultivars to crown gall disease with nodal explants <i>in vitro</i>. Among 180 <i>A. tumefaciens</i> strains, pathogenic strain RC12 was selected as an inoculant strain. The strain RC12 was identified based on characteristics of some selective media, pathogenicity test, and polymerase chain reaction analysis. Forty rose cultivars formed tumors on explants inoculated with <i>A. tumefaciens</i> RC12. However, 24 cultivars, including 22 Korean cultivars and 2 foreign cultivars, showed resistance to <i>A. tumefaciens</i> RC12 without forming any tumors. Six cultivars with tumor formation rates of over 30% formed initial tumors within 23 days after inoculation. Six cultivars with low tumor formation rates of around 5% formed initial tumors after 28 days of inoculation. It was found that gall formation rate was highly correlated with the initial gall formation period. Thus, the relationship between the period of gall formation and the rate of gall formation could be useful for assessing resistance to crown gall disease. <i>In vitro</i> inoculation methods could be used to evaluate resistance of cut-rose cultivars to crown gall diseases.
