Cooperative efforts contained spread of Pierce's disease and found genetic resistance
An outbreak of Pierce's disease of grapevine in the Temecula Valley in the late 1990s was one in a decades-long series of sporadic appearances of this infection in California. However, the new outb...
Egg Stage of Homalodisca vitripennis and Homalodisca liturata (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae): Ovometrics, Embryonic Development, and Nonparasitic Mortality
Morphometric and developmental aspects of the egg stage of glassy-winged sharpshooter, Homalodisca vitripennis (Germar), and Homalodisca liturata Ball were investigated. Considerable overlap exists...
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 ...
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 ...
Temperature dependent RNA metabolism in Xylella fastidiosa during cold stress and grapevine infection
Reoccurrence of Pierce’s disease of grapes, caused by Xylella fastidiosa, is known to be influenced by environmental factors, particularly cold temperatures during overwintering. Grapevines in cold...
Winter curing of Prunus dulcis cv 'Butte,' P. webbii and their interspecific hybrid in response to Xylella fastidiosa infections
Clonal replicates of Prunus dulcis cv 'Butte,' P. webbii and their interspecific hybrid P 63-61 were inoculated with Xylella fastidiosa strain M23 and evaluated for almond leaf scorch disease and s...
Xylella fastidiosa from almond in Iran: overwinter recovery and effects of antibiotics
Almond leaf scorch disease (ALSD), caused by Xylella fastidiosa, has been reported from some regions of Iran. Biological traits of isolates the pathogen from almond were investigated in pot and orc...
