Biological traits of Xylella fastidiosa strains from grapes and almonds
Xylella fastidiosa is a xylem-limited bacterium that causes various diseases, among them Pierce's disease of grapevine (PD) and almond leaf scorch (ALS). PD and ALS have long been considered to be ...
BRIEF HISTORICAL ACCOUNT OF OLIVE LEAF SCORCH ("BRUSCA") IN THE SALENTO PENINSULA OF ITALY AND STATE-OF-THE-ART OF THE OLIVE QUICK DECLINE SYNDROME
"Brusca" (leaf scorch or marginal leaf burn) is a disease of olive (Olea europaea) typically characterized by the desiccation and death of tissues at the tip and/or along the edge of the leaf blade...
Colony morphology of Xylella fastidiosa almond leaf scorch strains
Xylella fastidiosa is the causal agent of almond leaf scorch disease (ALSD), which is currently reemerging in California as a potential threat to almond (Prunus dulcis) production. We previously re...
Control of Pierce's Disease by Phage
Pierce's Disease (PD) of grapevines, caused by Xylella fastidiosa subsp. fastidiosa (Xf), is a limiting factor in the cultivation of grapevines in the US. There are presently no effective control m...
Draft Genome Resources of Two Strains ("ESVL" and "IVIA5901") of Xylella fastidiosa Associated with Almond Leaf Scorch Disease in Alicante, Spain
An outbreak of Xylella fastidiosa subsp. multiplex sequence type ST6 was discovered in 2017 in mainland Spain affecting almond trees. Two cultured almond strains, "ESVL" and "IVIA5901," were subjec...
Has Xylella fastidiosa "chosen" olive trees to establish in the Mediterranean basin?
Severe decline of olive trees was observed in the Lecce province, Apulia (Italy), and received the name 'complesso del disseccamento rapido dell'olivo' (olive rapid decline complex). Affected plant...
Hypervariations of a protease-encoding gene, PD0218 (pspB), in Xylella fastidiosa strains causing almond leaf scorch and Pierce's disease in California
Xylella fastidiosa is a gram-negative plant pathogenic bacterium that causes almond leaf scorch disease (ALSD) and Pierce's disease (PD) of grape in many regions of North America and Mexico. Of the...
IDENTIFICATION OF DNA SEQUENCES RELATED TO XYLELLA FASTIDIOSA IN OLEANDER, ALMOND AND OLIVE TREES EXHIBITING LEAF SCORCH SYMPTOMS IN APULIA (SOUTHERN ITALY)
Xylella fastidiosa is an important pathogen of commercial crops, landscape trees and ornamentals in North and South America. In Europe, symptoms resembling those caused by X. fastidiosa have occasi...
Isolation and pathogenicity of Xylella fastidiosa from grapevine and almond in Iran
Symptoms similar to those of Pierce's disease (PD) of grapevine and leaf scorch of almond were observed in vineyards and almond orchards in several provinces of Iran. Grafting of scions from sympto...
Molecular characteristics of a strain (Salento-1) of Xylella fastidiosa isolated in Apulia (Italy) from an olive plant with the quick decline syndrome
DNA-based approaches were used to characterize a strain (Salento-1) of Xylella fastidiosa obtained from an olive plant suffering from the syndrome of quick decline in Apulia (South Italy). Salento-...
Phylogenetic inference enables reconstruction of a long-overlooked outbreak of almond leaf scorch disease (Xylella fastidiosa) in Europe
The recent introductions of the bacterium Xylella fastidiosa (Xf) into Europe are linked to the international plant trade. However, both how and when these entries occurred remains poorly underst...
Susceptibility to Xylella fastidiosa in a First-generation Hybrid from a non-traditional Peach-Almond Cross
To facilitate development of Prunus L. rootstocks with desirable agronomic traits, domesticated peach (Prunus persica) and almond (P. dulcis) were crossed with wild almond relatives. This work repo...
