Differential Susceptibility of Prunus Germplasm (Subgenus Amygdalus) to a California Isolate of Xylella fastidiosa

Seedling peach (Prunus persica Batsch) and clonal peach-almond hybrids are popular rootstock choices for commercial almond growers in California. In this study, clonal replicates of peach and almon...

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...

EFFECT OF CONTACT AND SYSTEMIC INSECTICIDES ON THE SHARPSHOOTER BUCEPHALOGONIA XANTHOPHIS (HEMIPTERA: CICADELLIDAE), A VECTOR OF XYLELLA FASTIDIOSA IN CITRUS

The knockdown and toxic effects of insecticides of different chemical groups and modes of action registered for citrus in Brazil were investigated for effective control of Bucephalogonia xanthophis...

Evolution of the response of segregating populations of plums and the association with microsatellite markers of leaf scald

The evolution of leaf scald (Xylella fastidiosa) resistance was evaluated in individuals of seven plum segregating populations, consisted of seedling progenies originating from crosses involving ni...

Grapevine susceptibility to Pierce's disease II: Progression of anatomical symptoms

The progression of anatomical symptoms of Pierce's disease in susceptible Vitis vinifera cv. Chardonnay grapevines was studied over a time course following controlled inoculation of Y-shaped, two-s...

Grapevine susceptibility to Pierce's disease I: Relevance of hydraulic architecture

The arrangement of vascular tissue within the nodes of Chardonnay grapevine (Vitis vinifera) shoots was studied as an investigation of potential pathways of infection for the bacterium Xylella-fast...

Infection of blueberry cultivar Emerald with a California grapevine strain of Xylella fastidiosa and acquisition by glassy-winged sharpshooter

Bacterial leaf scorch disease caused by Xylella fastidiosa occurs in southern highbush blueberry varieties in the southeastern United States. Susceptibility to X. fastidiosa varies by blueberry cul...

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...

Ionomes of plants infected with vascular pathogens: Xylella fastidiosa as a case study

Recruitment and distribution of metals is fundamental for cell survival, and the mechanisms to maintain the appropriate metal concentrations have been highly conserved. Therefore, an evolutionary a...

Pierce's disease symptoms: Comparison with symptoms of water deficit and the impact of water deficits

The pathology of diseases such as Pierce's disease (PD) of grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) that are caused by the xylem-limited bacterium Xylella fastidiosa (Xf) is widely attributed to vessel occlus...

RAPD profile and antibiotic susceptibility of Xylella fastidiosa, causal agent of citrus variegated chlorosis

The aim of this study was to evaluate the diversity of Xylella fastidiosa isolated from citrus trees affected by Citrus Variegated Chlorosis (CVC). The antibiotic susceptibility by agar disc diff...

Reduced Susceptibility of Homalodisca vitripennis (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae) to Commonly Applied Insecticides

Pest management for the glassy-winged sharpshooter, Homalodisca
   vitripennis Germar (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae), in Kern County, California
   relies on the application of insecticides. These treatme...
