Olive quick decline syndrome (OQDS), which is caused by Xylella fastidiosa, poses a severe threat to the agriculture of Mediterranean countries and causes damage olive trees in Italy. Since no effective control measures are currently available, objective this study was screening antagonistic bacteria that potentially deployable as biocontrol agents against X. fastidiosa. Therefore, two approaches were used, i.e., evaluation activity (i) endophytic isolated from different cultivars (Leccino...
Endophytes are symptomless fungal and/or bacterial microorganisms found in almost all living plant species. The symbiotic association with their host plants by colonizing the internal tissues has endowed them as a valuable tool to suppress diseases, stimulate growth, and promote stress resistance. In this context, study of culturable endophytes residing sapwood Apulian olives might be promising control strategy for xylem pathogens Xylella fastidiosa. To date, olive cultivable still under...
