The realities of climate change and global world trade could be playing into the hands plant pathogens, none more so than Xylella fastidiosa. A relatively unimportant parochial pathogen 50 years ago, it has become one most important diseases in threatening crop production a wide variety tree crops all over globe. It moves within region insect vectors analogous to virus transmission but long-dis...

Abstract Background Phony peach disease (PPD) is caused by the plant pathogenic bacterium Xylella fastidiosa subsp. multiplex (Xfm). Historically, has severe yield loss in Georgia and elsewhere southeastern United States, with millions of PPD trees being removed from orchards over last century.

It characterized monumental olive groves protected from Regional Law 14/2007 for cultural value of landscape, currently threatened spread devastating phytopathogen, bacteria Xylella fastidiosa. aim this paper to apply landscape resilience analysis focusin...

ABSTRACT Xylella fastidiosa is the causal agent of citrus variegated chlorosis (CVC), a destructive disease of sweet orange cultivars in Brazil. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based assays constitute the principal diagnostic method for detection of these bacteria. In this work, we established a real-time quantitative PCR (QPCR) assay to quantify X. fastidiosa in naturally and artificially infe...
