A zinc, copper and citric acid biocomplex shows promise for control of Xylella fastidiosa subsp pauca in olive trees in Apulia region (southern Italy)
The bacterium Xylella fastidiosa subsp. pauca is associated with the “olive quick decline syndrome” in the Apulia region of southern Italy. To investigate control of this phytopathogen, a compound ...
Bacterial Leaf Scorch, a New Blueberry Disease Caused by Xylella fastidiosa
Since 2004, growers and scientists have observed a disorder described as "yellow twig" or "yellow stem" affecting a major selection of southern highbush blueberry, FL 86-19, in the south Georgia bl...
Comparative dispersal of Homalodisca coagulata and Homalodisca liturata (Homoptera : Cicadellidae)
California's viticulture and ornamental industries have suffered significant losses since the introduction of Homalodisca coagulata (Say), an important vector of the Pierce's disease bacterium. A b...
Draft Genome Sequences of Xylella fastidiosa subsp. fastidiosa Strains OK3, VB11, and NOB1, Isolated from Bunch and Muscadine Grapes Grown in Southern Mississippi
We report here high-quality draft whole-genome assemblies of Xylella fastidiosa subsp. fastidiosa strains OK3, VB11, and NOB1, which were isolated from symptomatic bunch and muscadine grape plant...
Effects of citrus and avocado irrigation and nitrogen-form soil amendment on host selection by adult Homalodisca vitripennis (Hemiptera : Cicadellidae)
Host plant water status is thought to influence dispersal of the xylophagous leafhopper Homalodisca vitripennis Germar, especially where plants are grown under high evaporative demand. Preference b...
Emerging plant diseases under a changing climate scenario: Threats to our global food supply
Estimation of Feeding Threshold for Homalodisca vitripennis (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae) and Its Application to Prediction of Overwintering Mortality
The glassy-winged sharpshooter, Homalodisca vitripennis (Germar), vectors the bacterium Xylella fastidtosa that induces Pierce's disease of grape This study determined the effect of temperature on ...
Fecundity and success of progeny produced by Homalodisca coagulata (Hemiptera : Cicadellidae) on single host species
This study tested the hypothesis that Homalodisca coagulata (Say) (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae) confined to a single host cannot successfully produce progeny and survive to complete a generation. We fo...
Functional Characterization of Replication and Stability Factors of an Incompatibility Group P-1 Plasmid from Xylella fastidiosa
Xylella fastidiosa strain riv11 harbors a 25-kbp plasmid (pXF-RIV11) belonging to the IncP-1 incompatibility group. Replication and stability factors of pXF-RIV11 were identified and used to constr...
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...
Identification of three potential insect vectors of Xylella fastidiosa in southern Italy
In order to identify potential vectors of Xylella fastidiosa in olive orchards in Puglia (southern Italy), Hemiptera insects were collected from October to December, 2013, in olive orchards with hi...
Influences of Temperature on Homalodisca vitripennis (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae) Survival Under Various Feeding Conditions
Survival of the glassy-winged sharpshooter, Homalodisca vitripennis (Germar) (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae), was studied under various constant temperatures and feeding conditions. When provided a host ...
