Abstract:
... Hydrangea (hortensia) is an important ornamental plant as garden tree and as pot plant. Old Japanese cultivars have been introduced from Japan to Europe since the 18th century. However, it has not yet been confirmed whether these old cultivars imported to Europe are identical with old cultivars existing in Japan. In this study, we did a morphological and molecular analysis of 20 Japanese old culti ...

Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae (PSA) strains can be grouped into four major groups, Psa1 (Japan), Psa2 (Korea), Psa3 (China, New Zealand, Chile, Europe, Korea) and Psa5, recently described from Japan. These PSA groups have similar core genomes but have a strikingly diverse repertoire of accessory genomes. For example, great sequence diversity is shown by the integrative conjugative elements ( ...

Recent studies aiming at elucidating the epidemiology of Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidia (Psa) in different continents allowed us to better define its disease cycle on cultivated Actinidia species. Some climate factors appear to play a fundamental role in favoring the virulence and the spreading of the pathogen in an area. Early and late frost event promote the rapid multiplication of the bacte ...
