Bacterial canker is the largest limiting factor in the cultivation and production of kiwifruit worldwide. Typical symptoms comprise necrotic spots on leaves, canker and dieback on canes and trunks, twig wilting, and blossom necrosis. Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae (Psa), which is the causal agent of kiwifruit bacterial canker, is divided into four biovars based on multilocus sequence analy...

Studies on some bacterial diseases of fruit plants from Aurangabad district was carried out during 2003-2009. They are: Leaf necrosis of Custard apple caused by Xanthomonas annonae; Citrus canker caused by Xanthomonas campestris pv. citri; Bacterial canker of Mango caused by Xanthomonas campestris pv. mangiferaeindicae; Leaf necrosis of Guava caused by Xanthomonas psidae; and leaf spot of Badam...

چکیده مرحله اپی فیتی باکتری pseudomonas syringae pv. syringae (pss) در شیوع و انتشار آن نقش اساسی دارد. این تحقیق با هدف تعیین جمعیت اپی فیتی باکتری pss روی تعدادی از علف های هرز باغات زردآلوی آلوده به بیماری شانکر باکتریایی در منطقه مرند انجام گرفت. در ماه های مهر و آبان از علف های هرز موجود نظیر پنیرک، تاج خروس، گل قاصد، پیچک، سلمه، قیاق و مرغ نمونه برداری شد. رقت های مختلف تا 7-10 از سوسپانس...

Citrus canker, a bacterial disease of citrus tree leaves, causes significant damage to citrus production worldwide. Effective and fast disease detection methods must be undertaken to minimize the losses of citrus canker infection. In this paper, we present a new approach based on global features and zonebased local features to detect citrus canker from leaf images collected in field which is mo...

Bud exudates from 9 poplars showing a range o f resistance to bacterial canker and poplar rust were analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and the components o f the bud exudate identified. Those compounds previously reported in the literature to have notable antimicrobial activity were listed and the quantities present in the bud exudates o f the speci­ mens analyzed were compared. N...

Annual postplanting applications of 40.7 kg/ha DBCP (1,2-dibromo-3-chloropropane) controlled Macroposthonia xenoplax (Raski, 1952) deGrisse and Loof, 1965 in peach tree short life sites, reduced bacterial canker incidence from 74% to 6%, and inreased the average life of the trees from 3.9 to 6.8 yr for a 7-yr test period. Hydrated lime at 5.5 kg per planting site reduced bacterial canker incide...

For diagnosis of citrus bacterial canker by PCR, an internal standard is employed to ensure the quality of the DNA extraction and that proper requisites exist for the amplification reaction. The ratio of PCR products from the internal standard and bacterial target is used to estimate the initial bacterial concentration in citrus tissues with lesions.
