Comparative genomics of Clavibacter michiganensis subspecies, pathogens of important agricultural crops
Subspecies of Clavibacter michiganensis are important phytobacterial pathogens causing devastating diseases in several agricultural crops. The genome organizations of these pathogens are poorly und...
Crop Vulnerability: Carya
Long-established native tree populations reflect local adaptations. Representation of diverse populations in accessible ex situ collections that link information on phenotypic expression to informa...
Effect of five antimicrobial peptides on the growth of Agrobacterium tumefaciens, Escherichia coli and Xylella fastidiosa
Five lytic peptides, cecropin A (CA), cecropin B (CB), magainin I (MI), magainin II (MII) and Shiva-1 (a synthetic analog of CB), were evaluated for their antimicrobial activity against Escherichia...
Genetic Control of Growth Traits and Inheritance of Resistance to Bacterial Leaf Scorch in American Sycamore
Open-pollinated progeny tests of American sycamore (Platanus occidentalis L.), which included 55 open-pollinated families selected from several prior Westvaco progeny tests and seed orchards and si...
Imidacloprid insecticide slows development of phony peach and plum leaf scald
Observations in controlled field experiments over 5 years indicated that imidacloprid, applied as a soil drench around the trunks of peach (Prunus persica), nectarine (P. persica var. nectarine) an...
Influence of Vitis xylem fluid and xylem fluid plus cecropin on growth of Xylella fastidiosa
Colony growth of Xylella fastidiosa (UCLA ID and STL PD strains) was quantified after incubation for 48 h in xylem fluid of Vitis rotundifolia Michx. cv. Noble and Vitis vinifera L. cv. Chardonnay....
Interaction between endophytic bacteria from citrus plants and the phytopathogenic bacteria Xylella fastidiosa, causal agent of citrus-variegated chlorosis
To isolate endophytic bacteria and Xylella fastidiosa and also to evaluate whether the bacterial endophyte community contributes to citrus-variegated chlorosis (CVC) status in sweet orange (Citrus ...
In vitro activities of antibiotics and antimicrobial peptides against the plant pathogenic bacterium Xylella fastidiosa
The objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of antibiotics and antimicrobial peptides against 10 strains of Xylella fastidiosa. The minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 12 a...
Monitoring the incidence of Xylella fastidiosa infection in olive orchards using ground-based evaluations, airborne imaging spectroscopy and Sentinel-2 time series through 3-D radiative transfer modelling
Outbreaks of Xylella fastidiosa (Xf) in Europe generate considerable economic and environmental damage, and this plant pest continues to spread. Detecting and monitoring the spatio-temporal dynamic...
Persistence in Phytopathogenic Bacteria: Do We Know Enough?
Phytopathogenic bacteria affect a wide range of crops worldwide and have a negative impact in agriculture due to their associated economic losses and environmental impacts. Together with other biot...
Relationship between sweet orange yield and intensity of Citrus Variegated Chlorosis
Citrus Variegated Chlorosis (CVC) is currently present in approximately 40% of citrus plants in Brazil and causes an annual loss of around 120 million US dollars to the Brazilian citrus industry. D...
Testing the Efficacy of Barrier Plantings for Limiting Sharpshooter Spread
Barrier plantings have been used successfully in the management of plant diseases. Their effectiveness at limiting the incursion of the blue-green sharpshooter (Graphocephala atropunctata), an impo...
