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...

Global Expression Profile of Biofilm Resistance to Antimicrobial Compounds in the Plant-Pathogenic Bacterium Xylella fastidiosa Reveals Evidence of Persister Cells

Investigations of biofilm resistance response rarely focus on plant-pathogenic bacteria. Since Xylella fastidiosa is a multihost plant-pathogenic bacterium that forms biofilm in the xylem, the beha...

Global Transcriptional Analysis Reveals Unique and Shared Responses in Arabidopsis thaliana Exposed to Combined Drought and Pathogen Stress

With frequent fluctuations in global climate, plants are exposed to co-occurring drought and pathogen infection and this combination adversely affects plant survival. In the past, some studies indi...

Identification and in silico analysis of the Citrus HSP70 molecular chaperone gene family

The completion of the genome sequencing of the Arabidopsis thaliana model system provided a powerful molecular tool for comparative analysis of gene families present in the genome of economically r...

Landscape composition predicts the distribution of Philaenus spumarius, vector of Xylella fastidiosa, in olive groves

The meadow spittlebug, Philaenus spumarius (Hemiptera: Aphrophoridae; Linnaeus, 1758), is considered the main vector in the ongoing Xylella fastidiosa outbreak in the olive groves of southern Italy...

Molecular Effects of Xylella fastidiosa and Drought Combined Stress in Olive Trees

Due to global climate change, complex combinations of stresses are expected to occur, among which the interaction between pathogens and drought stress may have a significant effect on growth and yi...

Oxidative stress tolerance is critical for xylem colonization and virulence of xylem-limited pathogens Xanthomonas albilineans and Xylella fastidiosa

Xanthomonas albilineans (Xal) and Xylella fastidiosa (Xf) are xylem-limited bacteria causing leaf scald of sugarcane and Pierce’s disease in grapevines, respectively. Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is es...

Susceptibility of Olea europaea L. varieties to Xylella fastidiosa subsp. pauca ST53: systematic literature search up to 24 March 2017

EFSA was requested by the European Commission to produce a report on the susceptibility of olive varieties to the Apulian strain of Xylella fastidiosa (subsp. pauca strain CoDiRO, ST53). A systemat...

The induction of differentially expressed proteins of Xylella fastidiosa with citrus extract

An in vitro system was developed to induce and identify Xylella fastidiosa proteins that were differentially expressed in the presence of callus-derived extracts from its host, the citrus cultivar ...

Transcriptome profiling of two olive cultivars in response to infection by the CoDiRO strain of Xylella fastidiosa subsp pauca

The recent Xylella fastidiosa subsp. pauca (Xfp) outbreak in olive (Olea europaea) groves in southern Italy is causing a destructive disease denoted Olive Quick Decline Syndrome (OQDS). Field obser...

Xylella fastidiosa infection and ethylene exposure result in xylem and water movement disruption in grapevine shoots

It is conventionally thought that multiplication of the xylem-limited bacterium Xylella fastidiosa (Xf) within xylem vessels is the sole factor responsible for the blockage of water movement in gra...
