An engineered innate immune defense protects grapevines from Pierce disease
We postulated that a synergistic combination of two innate immune functions, pathogen surface recognition and lysis, in a protein chimera would lead to a robust class of engineered antimicrobial th...
Characterization and Correlation of EPG Waveforms of Bactericera cockerelli (Hemiptera: Triozidae): Variability in Waveform Appearance in Relation to Applied Signal
The tomatoDpotato psyllid, Bactericera cockerelli (Sulc) (Hemiptera: Triozidae), was recently shown to be a vector of " Candidatus Liberibacter solanacearum" (Lso), a phloem-limited bacterium that ...
Genetic differences between blight-causing Erwinia species with differing host specificities, identified by suppression subtractive hybridization
PCR-based subtractive hybridization was used to isolate sequences from Erwinia amylovora strain Ea110, which is pathogenic on apples and pears, that were not present in three closely related strain...
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...
ISOLATION, CULTIVATION, AND PATHOGENICITY OF XYLELLA-FASTIDIOSA, THE CAUSAL BACTERIUM OF PEAR LEAF SCORCH DISEASE IN TAIWAN
Leaf scorch symptoms occurred in 12-20.6% of the pear trees (Pyrus pyrifolia) in the low-altitude areas of central Taiwan in 1990. Symptoms appeared on leaves in early July and stayed until the lea...
Xylella taiwanensis sp nov., causing pear leaf scorch disease
A Gram-stain-negative, nutritionally fastidious bacterium (PLS229(T)) causing pear leaf scorch was identified in Taiwan and previously grouped into Xylella fastidiosa. Yet, significant variations b...
