Type III Secretion Contributes to the Pathogenesis of the Soft-Rot Pathogen Erwinia carotovora: Partial Characterization of the hrp Gene Cluster

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2001
The virulence of soft-rot Erwinia species is dependent mainly upon secreted enzymes such as pectinases, pectin lyases, and proteases that cause maceration of plant tissue. Some soft-rot Erwinia spp.

Comparative efficacy of seed biopriming and soil drenching with Bacillus altitudinis TM22 and Bacillus atrophaeus MCM61 on the suppression of Fusarium wilt of cotton

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 3, Page 2424-2445, March 2026.
Co‐application of Bacillus strains TM22 and MCM61 suppressed Fusarium wilt of cotton. Seed biopriming with Bacillus strains performed better than soil drenching. TM22 + MCM61 improved vegetative and physiological aspects in cotton plants. TM22 + MCM61 enhanced the activity of defense enzymes and defense gene expression.

Two-Component Regulators Involved in the Global Control of Virulence in Erwinia carotovora subsp. carotovora

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 1998
Production of extracellular, plant cell wall degrading enzymes, the main virulence determinants of the plant pathogen Erwinia carotovora subsp. carotovora, is coordinately controlled by a complex regulatory network.

Interaction Between Pinus Species and Foliar Fungal Pathogens: Similar Symptoms, Contrasting Physiology

Plant Pathology, Volume 75, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
Lecanosticta acicola and Dothistroma septosporum trigger similar symptoms; host responses diverge sharply: Pinus pinea mounts robust defences, P. pinaster remains vulnerable, and P. radiata sustains growth. These contrasting strategies highlight species‐specific resilience and provide key insights for sustainable forest protection.

Natural Pesticides in Crop Protection: Comparative Advantages, Ecological Risks, and Future Directions

Journal of Chemistry, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Although synthetic pesticides have long been used to protect crops, their widespread use has led to significant health and environmental problems, including ecological contamination, resistant pest populations, and hazardous residues in food. These restrictions have sparked interest in natural pesticides (NPs), particularly the secondary metabolites of

Inhibition of Fungal and Bacterial Plant Pathogens by Synthetic Peptides: In Vitro Growth Inhibition, Interaction Between Peptides and Inhibition of Disease Progression

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2000
Four synthetic cationic peptides, pep6, pep7, pep11 and pep20, were tested alone and in combinations for their antimicrobial activities against economically important plant pathogenic fungi (Phytophthora infestans and Alternaria solani) and bacteria ...

A Review of On‐Site Detection Methods for Plant Health Based on Electrical Characteristics

Journal of Sensors, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Recent developments in IoT technology provide new solutions for field‐based monitoring of plant health. Among the many rapid detection techniques applied to the perception layer of IoT, electrical feature‐based detection technology stands out due to its distinct advantages such as low cost, ability to extract internal plant information, and immunity to

Use of Cold Plasma for Phytosanitation and Decontamination of Food Products: A Review

Future Postharvest and Food, Volume 2, Issue 4, Page 390-410, December 2025.
Applications of cold plasma in food industry. ABSTRACT Consumers are increasingly demanding healthy and nutrient‐rich food. Although conventional thermal processing techniques (pasteurization, sterilization, and blanching) ensure food safety and extend shelf life, they often negatively impact nutritional value and sensory quality, and they also consume

Erwinia carotovora subsp. carotovora extracellular protease: characterization and nucleotide sequence of the gene

Journal of Bacteriology, 1991
The prt1 gene encoding extracellular protease from Erwinia carotovora subsp. carotovora EC14 in cosmid pCA7 was subcloned to create plasmid pSK1. The partial nucleotide sequence of the insert in pSK1 (1,878 bp) revealed a 1,041-bp open reading frame (ORF1) that correlated with protease activity in deletion mutants.
