... RipAY, an effector protein from the plant bacterial pathogen Ralstonia solanacearum, exhibits γ-glutamyl cyclotransferase (GGCT) activity to degrade the host cellular glutathione (GSH) when stimulated by host eukaryotic-type thioredoxins (Trxs). Aave_4606 from Acidovorax citrulli, the causal agent of bacterial fruit blotch of cucurbit plants, shows significant homology to RipAY. Based on its homol ...

Abstract:
... Monocopper lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) catalyse oxidative cleavage of glycosidic bonds in a reductant‐dependent reaction. Recent studies indicate that LPMOs, rather than being O₂‐dependent monooxygenases, are H₂O₂‐dependent peroxygenases. Here, we describe SscLPMO10B, a novel LPMO from the phytopathogenic bacterium Streptomyces scabies and address links between this enzyme’s cataly ...

The glassy-winged sharpshooter (Homalodisca vitripennis (Germar); Hemiptera: Cicadellidae: Cicadellinae) is an invasive insect that transmits the plant pathogenic bacterium Xylella fastidiosa Wells et al. (Xanthomonadales: Xanthomonadacae). While adult glassy-winged sharpshooter must feed to produce eggs, the role of nutritional status on initiating oogenesis is poorly understood. To determine the ...

Abstract:
... Xylella fastidiosa is a xylem-inhabiting phytopathogenic bacterium that affects diverse agriculturally relevant crops. In Mexico, X. fastidiosa has been reported in the states of Baja California, Coahuila, and Querétaro. In order to determine the genetic diversity of this bacterium in Mexico, 408 grapevine samples were collected from the main producing states in México. For X. fastidiosa identific ...

Abstract:
... Horizontal gene transfer is of major evolutionary importance as it allows for the redistribution of phenotypically important genes among lineages. Such genes with essential functions include those involved in resistance to antimicrobial compounds and virulence factors in pathogenic bacteria. Understanding gene turnover at microevolutionary scales is critical to assess the pace of this evolutionary ...

Abstract:
... Ralstonia solanacearum is a plant-pathogenic bacterium causing plant bacterial wilt, and can be strongly inhibited by methyl gallate (MG). Our previous transcriptome sequencing of MG-treated R. solanacearum showed that the yceI gene AVT05_RS03545 of Rs-T02 was up-regulated significantly under MG stress. In this study, a deletion mutant (named DM3545) and an over-expression strain (named OE3545) fo ...

Abstract:
... Dickeya solani is an emerging plant-pathogenic bacterium causing disease symptoms in a variety of agriculturally relevant crop species worldwide. To date, a number of D. solani genomes have been sequenced and characterized; the great majority of these genomes have, however, come from D. solani strains isolated from potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) and not from other plant hosts. Herewith, we present ...

Abstract:
... Plant vascular diseases are tissue-specific systemic infections provoked by bacterial and fungal pathogens adapted to thrive in the xylem vessels. A recent report by Gluck-Thaler et al. reveals that, in the phytopathogenic bacterium Xanthomonas, the switch from non-vascular to vascular pathogenesis is determined by a single gene encoding a plant cell wall-degrading hydrolase. ...

... Ralstonia solanacearum causes bacterial wilt disease in many plant species. Type III‐secreted effectors (T3Es) play crucial roles in bacterial pathogenesis. However, some T3Es are recognized by corresponding disease resistance proteins and activate plant immunity. In this study, we identified the R. solanacearum T3E protein RipAZ1 (Ralstonia injected protein AZ1) as an avirulence determinant in th ...
... Although the mitochondria retain all required enzymes for an intact tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, plants might shift the cyclic flux from the TCA cycle to an alternative noncyclic pathway via γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) shunt under specific physiological conditions. We hypothesize that several genes may ease this noncyclic flux and contribute to the citrus response to the phytopathogenic bacteriu ...

Abstract:
... Fire blight is a severe bacterial plant disease that affects important chain-of-value fruit trees such as pear and apple trees. This disease is caused by Erwinia amylovora, a quarantine phytopathogenic bacterium, which, although highly distributed worldwide, still lacks efficient control measures. The green revolution paradigm demands sustainable agriculture practices, for which antimicrobial pept ...
... Nano(Se, Ag, Au) capped with triazole-based polymers are promising nanomaterials for medicine and technique. Natural biopolymers are capable of exhibiting high efficiency in stabilization of metal/nonmetal nanoparticles. In this work, fungal extracellular polymers were found to contribute positively to the formation of hybrid polymeric element-containing nanocomposites and their biological activit ...
... Preventive measures for infectious diseases caused by the harmful plant pathogenic bacterium Xylella fastidiosa include inspections and diagnostic tests on imported consignments of plants and in nurseries. Currently, mandatory checks on plant propagating materials are enforced in Europe (EU regulation 2021/1201) for the most susceptible species found in the European outbreaks, and prior to move pr ...
... Ralstonia solanacearum is a widespread plant bacterial pathogen that can launch a range of type III effectors (T3Es) to cause disease. In this study, we isolate a pathogenic R. solanacearum strain named P380 from tomato rhizosphere. Five out of 12 core T3Es of strain P380 are introduced into Pseudomonas syringae DC3000D36E separately to determine their functions in interacting with plants. DC3000D ...

Screening of 10 environmental samples (mainly of rhizospheric origin) for lytic activity against two bacterial phytopathogens, Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato DC3000 (CFBP2212) and Xanthomonas hortorum pv. vitians (CFBP3979), revealed that four samples harboured phages that were active against one strain. Only one sample, composed of an artisanal nettle liquid manure, contained phages able to lyse ...
... Burkholderia glumae is one of the most critical rice-pathogenic bacteria, and it causes bacterial panicle blight (BPB) in rice plants. In 2017, BPB symptoms were observed from rice fields in Chiang Rai, Northern Thailand. Sixty-one isolates obtained from the symptomatic panicles of rice were initially identified as B. glumae by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using species-specific primers. Among ...
