Abundance and Consumption Rate of Glassy-Winged Sharpshooter (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae) on Peaches and Plums
Homalodisca vitripennis (Germar), the glassy-winged sharpshooter, is a primary vector of phony peach and plum leaf scald diseases caused by Xylella fastidiosa Wells et al. A survey of H. vitripenni...
ACQUISITION AND RETENTION OF XYLELLA-FASTIDIOSA BY AN EFFICIENT VECTOR, GRAPHOCEPHALA-ATROPUNCTATA
The blue-green sharpshooter (BGSS), Graphocephala atropunctata (Signoret), is an efficient vector of Xylella fastidiosa Wells et al, the causal bacterium of Pierce's disease of grapevine. In experi...
Budding method affects transmission of Xylella fastidiosa in plum
Detection of Xylella fastidiosa Wells et al. by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay indicated that plums (Prunus hybrids) had higher absorbance values than peaches [Prunus persica (L.) Batsch]. The s...
Detection of Xylella fastidiosa from resistant and susceptible grapevine by tissue sectioning and membrane entrapment immunofluorescence
Immunofluorescence detection was performed by tissue sectioning and membrane entrapment of Xylella fastidiosa from the inoculated hybrid selection F8909-08 (Vitis rupestris A. de Serres x V. arizon...
DISTRIBUTION OF XYLELLA-FASTIDIOSA WITHIN ROOTS OF PEACH
The distribution of Xylella fastidiosa, the bacterium that causes phony peach disease, was studied in roots of 10 Flordaking peach scions grafted on Nemaguard rootstock. X. fastidiosa was detected ...
Identification and characterization of endophytic bacteria isolated from in vitro cultures of peach and pear rootstocks
Endophytes are microorganisms which live symbiotically with almost all varieties of plant and in turn helping the plant in a number of ways. Instead of satisfactory surface sterilization approaches...
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...
ISOLATION OF A XYLELLA FASTIDIOSA STRAIN INFECTING OLIVE AND OLEANDER IN APULIA, ITALY
The isolation in pure culture of the Xylella fastidiosa strain associated with the quick decline syndrome of olive, recently observed in Apulia (Salento peninsula, southern Italy) was attempted fro...
Novel Primers and Sampling for PCR Detection of Xylella fastidiosa in Peach
Epidemics of phony peach disease (PPD), caused by Xylella fastidiosa, are of increasing concern to peach (Prunus persica) producers in the southeastern United States. Primers suitable for both conv...
ROOTSTOCK INFLUENCE ON OCCURRENCE OF HOMALODISCA-COAGULATA, PEACH XYLEM FLUID AMINO-ACIDS, AND CONCENTRATIONS OF XYLELLA-FASTIDIOSA
The influence of three Prunus rootstocks-a domestic plum, a domestic peach, and a peach from Brazil-on the occurrence of the vector of phony peach disease, Homalodisca coagulata, was assessed in a ...
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...
The Bacterial Pathogen Xylella fastidiosa Affects the Leaf Ionome of Plant Hosts during Infection
Xylella fastidiosa is a plant pathogenic bacterium that lives inside the host xylem vessels, where it forms biofilm believed to be responsible for disrupting the passage of water and nutrients. Her...
