Antagonistic activity of olive endophytic bacteria and of Bacillus spp. strains against Xylella fastidiosa
Strains of Xylella fastidiosa subsp. pauca characterized by a specific genotype, the so called sequence type "ST53", have been associated with a severe disease named Olive Quick Decline Syndrome ...
Antibacterial Activity of Phenolic Compounds Against the Phytopathogen Xylella fastidiosa
Xylella fastidiosa is a pathogenic bacterium that causes diseases in many crop species, which leads to considerable economic loss. Phenolic compounds (a group of secondary metabolites) are widely d...
Application of calcium carbonate nanocarriers for controlled release of phytodrugs against Xylella fastidiosa pathogen
Calcium carbonate-based hollow or porous particles are one of the preferred carriers for fabrication of drug delivery systems. We have developed an eco-friendly method to produce calcium carbonat...
Bioassay assessment of Metarhizium anisopliae (Metchnikoff) Sorokin (Deuteromycota : Hyphomycetes) against Oncometopia facialis (Signoret) (Hemiptera : Cicadellidae)
Citrus Variegated Chlorosis ( CVC) is an economically important, destructive disease in Brazil and is caused by Xylella fastidiosa and transmitted by sharpshooter insects. In this study, the effica...
Copper Supplementation in Watering Solution Reaches the Xylem But Does Not Protect Tobacco Plants Against Xylella fastidiosa Infection
Xylella fastidiosa is a xylem-limited plant pathogenic bacterium that causes disease in many crops worldwide. Copper (Cu) is an antimicrobial agent widely used on X. fastidiosa hosts to control o...
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...
Experimental Nets for a Protection System against the Vectors of Xylella fastidiosa Wells et al.
The effectiveness of experimental nets in preventing the access of adult meadow spittlebug Philaenus spumarius L., the main vector of Xylella fastidiosa Wells et al. subspecies pauca, sequence type...
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...
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...
Methylobacterium-Induced Endophyte Community Changes Correspond with Protection of Plants against Pathogen Attack
Plant inoculation with endophytic bacteria that normally live inside the plant without harming the host is a highly promising approach for biological disease control. The mechanism of resistance in...
Ohr plays a central role in bacterial responses against fatty acid hydroperoxides and peroxynitrite
Organic hydroperoxide resistance (Ohr) enzymes are unique Cysbased, lipoyl-dependent peroxidases. Here, we investigated the involvement of Ohr in bacterial responses toward distinct hydroper-oxides...
Scientific opinion on four statements questioning the EU control strategy against Xylella fastidiosa
This opinion addresses questions concerning the EU control strategy against Xylella fastidiosa: i) factors affecting symptom expression and spread of X. fastidiosa; ii) the aetiology of the CoDiRO ...
