Transmission of phage by glassy-winged sharpshooters, a vector of Xylella fastidiosa
Xylella fastidiosa subsp. fastidiosa (Xff) is the causal agent of Pierce's Disease (PD) of grapevines and is vectored by the glassy-winged sharpshooter (GWSS, Homalodisca vitripennis). Previously we have reported the development of a bacteriophage (phage) based biocontrol system for PD, but no information on insect transmission of phages has been reported. Here we communicate that laboratory re...
متن کاملHEMOLYMPH-ASSOCIATED SYMBIONTS: IDENTIFICATION OF DELFTIA SP. IN GLASSY-WINGED SHARPSHOOTERS AND INVESTIGATION INTO THEIR PUTATIVE FUNCTION Principal Investigator:
The glassy-winged sharpshooter (GWSS; Homalodisca vitripennis) feeds on a wide variety of host plants including grapes, oleander, and citrus and is the primary vector of Xylella fastidiosa (Xf), the causal agent of Pierce’s disease of grapevine, oleander leaf scorch, and citrus variegated chlorosis. Additional bacterial species have been identified within GWSS which may contribute to the insect...

INTRODUCTION Homalodisca coagulata Say, the glassy-winged sharpshooter (GWSS) is known to transmit the etiological agent of Pierce’s disease, Xylella fastidiosa. A paratransgenic approach designed to disrupt the ability of the insect vector to transmit the pathogen involves finding bacterial candidates that possess some degree of intimacy either within the insect and/or host plant xylem. Once a...

متن کاملEffect of amino acid and mycorrhiza inoculation on sweet pepper growth under greenhouse conditions
ABSTRACT- The production of greenhouse sweet pepper is increasing because of the consumer demand for sweet pepper year around. In this study, physiological characteristics of sweet pepper were evaluated in a greenhouse under different levels of arbascular mycorrhizal fungus, Glomus intraradices, (AMF) and various levels of amino acid (AA). Treatments included no AMF as a control (AMF1), 1000 sp...
