Antifungal Activity of Natural Volatile Organic Compounds against Litchi Downy Blight Pathogen Peronophythora litchii [PDF]
Litchi (Litchi chinensis Sonn.) is a commercially important fruit but its production and quality are restricted by litchi downy blight, caused by the oomycete pathogen Peronophythora litchii Chen. Volatile substances produced by a biocontrol antinomycetes Streptomyces fimicarius BWL-H1 could inhibited P. litchii growth and development both in vitro and

Organic mulch can suppress litchi downy blight through modification of soil microbial community structure and functional potentials. [PDF]
Abstract Background Organic mulch is an important management practice in agricultural production to improve soil quality, control crop pests and diseases and increase the biodiversity of soil microecosystem. However, the information about soil microbial diversity and composition in litchi plantation response to organic ...

Biocontrol Using Bacillus amyloliquefaciens PP19 Against Litchi Downy Blight Caused by Peronophythora litchii. [PDF]
Bacillus amyloliquefaciens has been widely used in the agriculture, food, and medicine industries. Isolate PP19 was obtained from the litchi fruit carposphere and showed biocontrol efficacy against litchi downy blight (LDB) whether applied preharvest or postharvest.

Control of litchi downy blight by zeamines produced by Dickeya zeae. [PDF]
AbstractZeamines (ZMS), a class of polyamine-polyketide-nonribosomal peptide produced by bacterial isolate Dickeya zeae, were shown recently to be potent antibiotics against some bacterial pathogens. In this study, the results indicated that ZMS showed antifungal activity against Peronophythora litchii and other fungal pathogens.

Effectiveness of Volatiles Emitted by Streptomyces abikoensis TJGA-19 for Managing Litchi Downy Blight Disease. [PDF]
Litchi is a fruit of significant commercial value; however, its quality and yield are hindered by downy blight disease caused by Peronophythora litchii. In this study, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from Streptomyces abikoensis TJGA-19 were investigated for their antifungal effects and studied in vitro and in planta for the suppression of litchi ...

Regulation of Oomycete Autophagy, Lipid Droplet Accumulation and Pathogenesis by Three Rab GTPases. [PDF]
PlRab6– PlRab8A complex controls growth, virulence and autophagy, while PlRab8B modulates sporulation and virulence via autophagy and LD metabolism in P. litchii. ABSTRACT Among eukaryotes, Rab GTPases are critical for intracellular membrane trafficking and possess various functions.

The cultivation and overall quality of Litchi, a fruit of significant commercial value in China, are hindered by the presence of the oomycetes pathogen Peronophythora litchii. This pathogen is responsible for the occurrence of litchi downy blight, resulting in substantial economic losses during the storage and transportation of the fruit, and affects ...

An RXLR effector PlAvh142 from Peronophythora litchii triggers plant cell death and contributes to virulence. [PDF]
The RXLR effector PlAvh142 from Peronophythora litchii triggers cell death, which is dependent on plant RAR1, SGT1, and HSP90. Knockout of PlAvh142 by CRISPR/Cas9 attenuates the pathogenicity of P. litchii. Abstract Litchi downy blight, caused by the phytopathogenic oomycete Peronophythora litchii, results in tremendous economic loss in litchi ...
