Antibacterial properties of plasma activated water (PAW) were investigated in two plant pathosystems: Xanthomonas vesicatoria (Xv) infected tomato plants and ‘Candidatus Phytoplasma asteris’ infected periwinkle micropropagated shoots. Bacterial leaf spot severity caused by Xv was reduced and a reduced symptomatology and lack of bacterial colony formation in PAW treated periwinkle micropropagated shoots was observed, indicating the presence of a possible interaction between PAW and these pathogens.

Abstract
Antibacterial properties of plasma activated water (PAW) were investigated in two plant pathosystems: Xanthomonas vesicatoria (Xv) infected tomato plants and ‘Candidatus Phytoplasma asteris’ infected periwinkle micropropagated shoots. Bacterial leaf spot severity caused by Xv was reduced and a reduced symptomatology and lack of bacterial colony formation in PAW treated periwinkle micropropagated shoots was observed, indicating the presence of a possible interaction between PAW and these pathogens.File in questo prodotto:
