“…Tomatoes of the variety Tamar, grown on Farm E under identical conditions as Marmand, did not differ greatly in bacterial population of the stem-depression, but penetration of the bacteria into the fruit tissue was only about one-fourth that of the Marmand variety. These observations confirm our previous findings (Samish et al, 1961). The bacteria recorded on the smears from the seven locations and from the stem-depression (Table 2) were identified, and the frequency of their occurrence was estimated (Table 3).…”

“…MATERIALS AND NIETHODS Tomatoes were collected from fields located in the vicinity of Rehovot, Israel, picked individually with stem-ends attached, and brought to the laboratory within 1 to 2 hr after harvesting. They were washed with detergents, disinfected, and flamed as described in our previous kpaper (Samish et al, 1961). Swabs from the surface of the treated tomatoes remained generally sterile; in a few instances, we found gram-positive bacilli.…”

“…The tomatoes were harvested within 1 to 5 weeks after treatment, and their content of bacteria was determined after surface disinfection. In addition to the usual technique (Samish et al, 1961), pieces of the inner pulp contained in a sterile jar were covered with 30 ml of Ashby solution (Salle,19 )4) and incubated for 3 days at 30 C.…”

Bacteria have been shown to be present in fresh normal tomatoes. The frequency of their presence differed widely between different fields. Bacterial populations within the tomatoes showed a distinct gradient, being largest in the connective tissue at the stem end and decreasing through the central core towards the peripheral and distal tissue. Application of Serratia to the sepals of young tomato fruits often resulted in their recovery from within tissue of the mature fruit. These findings lend support to the theory that the bacteria enter the fruit through the connective tissue at the stem end.

“…Similarly studies conducted on endophytic colonization of 11 field-grown pea cultivars showed significant differences in the level of endophyte colonisation between cultivars at the mature stage. It is also known that tomato cultivars differ in their endophytic flora (Samish et al, 1961) [7] . Further, Siciliano et al, (1999) [8] have shown that endophytic populations are different in the roots of Brassica napus cultivars Excel, Parkland and a transgene of Excel, Quest.…”

The yield potential of Brassica juncea is constrained by many fungal diseases among which Alternaria blight poses a major challenge worldwide. Endophytic bacteria are increasingly recognized as a promising source of novel organic natural metabolites for a variety of biological activities. However endophytic bacteria belonging to the group Bacillus and fluorescent Pseudomonads are being reported as superior groups exploited for their role in combating phytopathogens. Therefore, the bacteria belonging to the above groups were primarily targeted for this study. In this study, fifty six endophytic bacteria were selectively isolated from seeds, roots and leaves of 20 different cultivars of Brassica juncea growing in various parts of North Eastern Region of India. Out of all isolates tested BS8, BS15, BS21 and FP13 show inhibition of 59.63%, 65.93%, 58.52% and 63.33 % respectively. When tested for functional properties, BS21 produced IAA as well as ammonia, BS15 and FP13 produced only Ammonia whereas BS8 solubilised Phosphate. BS8(Bacillus cereus), BS15(Bacillus subtilis), BS21 (Bacillus subtilis) and FP13 (Pseudomonas fluorescens) were selected on the basis of antagonistic as well as plant growth promoting properties for formulating a microbial consortium and subsequent evaluation in the field.
