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...
Leaf-residing Methylobacterium species fix nitrogen and promote biomass and seed production in Jatropha curcas
Background: Jatropha curcas L. (Jatropha) is a potential biodiesel crop that can be cultivated on marginal land because of its strong tolerance to drought and low soil nutrient content. However, se...
Xylella fastidiosa subsp. pauca and fastidiosa Colonize Arabidopsis Systemically and Induce Anthocyanin Accumulation in Infected Leaves
The bacterium Xylella fastidiosa is a multihost pathogen that affects perennial crops such as grapevine, sweet orange, and olive tree worldwide. It is inherently difficult to study these pathosyste...
Xylem structure and connectivity in grapevine (Vitis vinifera) shoots provides a passive mechanism for the spread of bacteria in grape plants
Bacterial leaf scorch occurring in a number of economically important plants is caused by the xylem-limited bacterium Xylella fastidiosa (Xf). In grapevine, Xf systemic infection causes Pierce's di...
