Bacterial plant pathogens affect the locomotor behavior of the insect vector: a case study of Citrus volkameriana–Triozae erytreae–Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus system [PDF]
Insect Science, 2023 AbstractPlant pathogens can alter the behavior of their insect vectors as well as their survival and reproduction. The African psyllid, Trioza erytreae, is one of the vectors of Huanglongbing, a citrus disease caused mainly by “Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus” (CLas). The purpose of this study was to characterize the effects of CLas on the psyllid, T.

Citrus Black Spot Symptoms on Fruit Exposed to Phyllosticta citricarpa Infections at Different Developmental Stages. [PDF]
Plant Environ InteractABSTRACT Citrus black spot (CBS), caused by Phyllosticta citricarpa, is an important fungal disease of citrus. Higher CBS severity has been associated with P. citricarpa infections at the young and green stages of fruit. The length of the fruit susceptibility period may be influenced by the amount of inoculum and the climate of the citrus growing ...

Physiologia Plantarum, Volume 175, Issue 3, May/June 2023., 2023 Abstract How temperate trees respond to drier summers strongly depends on the drought susceptibility and the starch reserve of the very‐fine roots (<0.5 mm in diameter). We performed morphological, physiological, chemical, and proteomic analyses on very‐fine roots of Fagus sylvatica seedlings grown under moderate‐ and severe drought conditions ...
