BACTERIAL DISEASES THAT MAY OR DO EMERGE, WITH (POSSIBLE) ECONOMIC DAMAGE FOR EUROPE AND THE MEDITERRANEAN BASIN: NOTES ON EPIDEMIOLOGY, RISKS, PREVENTION AND MANAGEMENT ON FIRST OCCURRENCE
Bacterial diseases are difficult to control (both chemically and biologically), and are restrained primarily by preventive measures. Most important risk factors for the introduction or spread of ba...
BRIEF HISTORICAL ACCOUNT OF OLIVE LEAF SCORCH ("BRUSCA") IN THE SALENTO PENINSULA OF ITALY AND STATE-OF-THE-ART OF THE OLIVE QUICK DECLINE SYNDROME
"Brusca" (leaf scorch or marginal leaf burn) is a disease of olive (Olea europaea) typically characterized by the desiccation and death of tissues at the tip and/or along the edge of the leaf blade...
Cassava endophytic microorganisms of commercial plantings and ethnovarieties in three Brazilian states
The aim of this work was to perform a survey of the diversity of endophytic microorganisms in cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) collected from commercial plantings, in the State of Sao Paulo, and ...
Comparative genomic characterization of citrus-associated Xylella fastidiosa strains
The xylem-inhabiting bacterium Xylella fastidiosa (Xf) is the causal agent of Pierce's disease (PD) in vineyards and citrus variegated chlorosis (CVC) in orange trees. Both of these economically-de...
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...
Detecting Genetic Introgression: High Levels of Intersubspecific Recombination Found in Xylella fastidiosa in Brazil
Documenting the role of novel mutation versus homologous recombination in bacterial evolution, and especially in the invasion of new hosts, is central to understanding the long-term dynamics of pat...
Differential Susceptibility of Xylella fastidiosa Strains to Synthetic Bactericidal Peptides
The kinetics of cell inactivation and the susceptibility of Xylella fastidiosa subspecies fastidiosa, multiplex, and pauca to synthetic antimicrobial peptides from two libraries (CECMEL11 and CYC...
DIVERSITY OF CICADOMORPHA (HEMIPTERA: AUCHENORRHYNCHA) IN CITRUS ORCHARDS IN NORTHEASTERN ARGENTINA
Among phytophagous insects, the Cicadomorpha are important economically because they damage crops by sucking plant sap and by transmitting plant pathogens, such as Spiroplasma citri and Xylella fas...
Drip-irrigated Pecan Seedlings Response to Irrigation Water Salinity
Salinity responses and salinity-related suppression of budbreak of drip-irrigated pecan [Carya ihinoinensis (Wangenh.) K. Koch] seedlings under different irrigation water salinity (ECIRR) levels we...
Etiology of three recent diseases of citrus in Sao Paulo State: Sudden death, variegated chlorosis and huanglongbing
The state of Sao Paulo (SSP) is the. rst sweet orange growing region in the world. Yet, the SSP citrus industry has been, and still is, under constant attack from various diseases. In the 1940s, tr...
Functional and small-angle X-ray scattering studies of a new stationary phase survival protein E (SurE) from Xylella fastidiosa - evidence of allosteric behaviour
The genome data of bacterium Xylella fastidiosa strain 9a5c has identified several orfs related to its phytopathogenic adaptation and survival. Among these genes, the surE codifies a survival prote...
