Abstract ‘ Candidatus Liberibacter’ species are insect‐transmitted, phloem‐limited α‐Proteobacteria in the order of Rhizobiales . The citrus industry is facing significant challenges due to huanglongbing, associated with infection from Liberibacter asiaticus’ (Las). In gain greater insight into Ca. biology and genetic diversity, we have performed genome sequencing comparative analyses diverse Ca species, including those that can infect citrus. Our phylogenetic analysis differentiates...
, the causal agent of Septoria tritici blotch, is one Europe's most damaging wheat pathogens, causing significant economic losses. Genetic resistance a common strategy to control disease,
The citrus industry is facing an unprecedented crisis due to Huanglongbing (HLB, aka greening disease), a bacterial disease associated with the pathogen Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus (CLas) that affects all commercial varieties. Transmitted by Asian psyllid (ACP), CLas colonizes phloem, leading reduced yield and fruit quality, eventually tree decline death. Since adequate curative measures are not available, key step in HLB management restrict spread of identifying infected trees...
'Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus' (Las) is an emergent bacterial pathogen that associated with the devastating citrus huanglongbing (HLB). Vectored by Asian psyllid, Las colonizes phloem tissue of citrus, causing severe damage to infected trees. So far, cultivating pure culture in axenic media has not been successful, and dual-transcriptome analyses aiming profile gene expression both its hosts have a low coverage genome because abundance RNA total extracts from tissues. Therefore, lack...
ABSTRACT Effector proteins are secreted by plant pathogens to enable host colonization. Typically, effector genes tightly regulated, have very low expression levels in axenic conditions, and strongly induced during Chromatin remodeling contributes the activation of planta still poorly known mechanisms. In this work, we investigated role histone acetylation gene derepression pathogens. We used Zymoseptoria tritici , a major pathogen wheat, as model determine lysine acetyltransferases (KATs)...
Abstract Citrus is one of the most economically important fruit crops in world. psorosis a serious disease affecting mainly oranges and mandarins A rgentina U ruguay. The causal agent C itrus virus ( CP s V ), an ophiovirus with tripartite ss RNA genome negative polarity. coat protein abundant viral infected plants, has been used to detect by TAS ‐ ELISA , but only biological indexing, requiring 1 year, current validated technique for diagnosis citrus psorosis. In this study, SYBR G reen RT...
The global production of food waste is a far-reaching problem with sizable financial, ethical, social, and environmental costs. Over 66 million tons produced annually in the United States alone. This can be converted into valuable digestate by-products that promote circular economy within agri-food systems. present work investigated use two liquid digestates microaerobic fermentation from mixed beer mash, respectively, as biostimulants for non-bearing citrus plants (nursery stock) grown...

ABSTRACT Wheat, one of the top‐produced cereals worldwide, is affected by many abiotic and biotic stresses, such as ascomycete fungus Zymoseptoria tritici , causal agent Septoria blotch (STB). STB has historically been managed with fungicides, but pathogen readily overcomes chemical control because its rapid genetic evolution. In addition, fungicides are now being banned or limited governments aiming for more environment‐friendly methods pest management. This scenario gave rise to thinking...
Tomato plants exhibiting typical symptoms of begomovirus infection, including leaf deformation, curling, and yellowing, were collected from cultivated fields in Lavalle Department, Corrientes, Argentina, 2010. Although the number affected was only 2% within a farm, finding is considerable importance since white fly Bemisia tabaci widely spread country, even other southernmost areas such as cinturón hortícola de Buenos Aires (horticultural belt around Aires). DNA isolated infected tomato...

Graft-transmissible, phloem-limited pathogens of citrus such as viruses, viroids, and bacteria are responsible for devastating epidemics serious economic losses worldwide. For example, the tristeza virus killed over 100 million trees globally, while "Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus" has cost Florida $9 billion. The use pathogen-tested budwood tree propagation is key management pathogens. Citrus Clonal Protection Program (CCPP) at University California, Riverside, uses polymerase chain...
Abstract Citrus is a major fruit crop with economic importance worldwide, citriculture historically threatened at times by diverse array of pathogens. As leading producer and exporter, Argentina has been dealing endemic quarantine diseases citrus implementing conventional management strategies. In recent decades, the pursuit pathogen‐resistant transgenic explored in country as part long‐term sustainable disease strategy. Successful genetically modified organisms (GMOs) were created locally,...
