Outline of Final Research Achievements

The analysis method for total bacterial structure in the grafted tomato plants by denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis was establised in this study. Biological control of bacterial wilt caused by Ralstonia solanacearum, which is seriuou disease in the world, by using endophitic bacteria was developed. The effective bacterial strains as biocontrol agents were selected among predominant bacterial endophytic species living in the grafted tomato plants.
