Ralstonia solanacearum is an important plant pathogen which infects a large number of agriculturally important crops. The Type Three Secretion System (T3SS) plays a major role in its pathogenicity by secreting type III effectors (T3Es) which overthrow the host defence mechanism. The secretion of T3Es is transcriptionally regulated by hrpB and its secretion is dependent on the pili formed by hrcV gene. In this study, two T3SS mutants of R. solanacearum strain Rs-09-161 viz. Rs-HrpB- and Rs-HrcV- were developed through insertional mutagenesis. The method of development of insertional mutant is quite simple and reliable. The plasmid integrates through homologous recombination and in vitro studies have proved that the integration was stable for several generations. The mutants are non-pathogenic on its highly susceptible hosts, brinjal and tomato inoculated by soil drench method and by petiole inoculation directly into the vascular system. Further it was observed that the colonisation ability of the mutants was also highly reduced in the susceptible host. These mutants will be useful in validating putative T3E through translocation studies.
