Efficacy of Zeolite and Kaolin in the Control of Cacopsylla pyri (L.) (Hemiptera: Psyllidae) and Compatibility With Its Natural Antagonist Anthocoris nemoralis (Fabricius) (Hemiptera: Anthocoridae)

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The pear psyllid Cacopsylla pyri is a major pest of European pear orchards, responsible for significant yield losses. Its management is increasingly challenged by restrictions on synthetic active ingredients, resistance development, and the shift towards sustainable production systems.

Control of phytoplasma diseases through resistant plants

, 2019
Phytoplasma diseases are difficult to control and one of the most promising approaches is through the use of resistant plants. Intra- and interspecific differences in the response of plants to various phytoplasma diseases have been observed over the ...

Oviposition Behaviour, Nymphal Development and Below‐Ground Olfactory Preference of Pentastiridius leporinus on 12 Beta vulgaris Genotypes

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The planthopper Pentastiridius leporinus (Hemiptera: Cixiidae) is the primary vector of two phloem‐restricted prokaryotes, which can cause the disease syndrome de basses richesses (SBR) in sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.). Heavy infestations of this insect have contributed to significant yield losses in Central Europe, but little is known about ...

A combined microscopy approach to study plant-phytoplasma interaction using Arabidopsis thaliana. [PDF]

, 2016
Phytoplasmas, obligate parasites of plants and phloem-feeding insects, belong to Mollicutes (Lee et al., 2004) and are associated with several hundreds of diseases affecting over one thousand plant species, including many economically important crops ...

The Endoplasmic Reticulum Is a Key Battleground between Phytoplasma Aggression and Host Plant Defense

Cells, 2023
Phytoplasmas are intracellular plant pathogens that heavily rely on host cell nutrients for survival and propagation due to their limited ability to synthesize essential substrates.

The grapevine microbiota: A review on the possible impacts of plant protection programs on phyllosphere microorganisms

Annals of Applied Biology, Volume 189, Issue 1, July 2026.
This review highlights recent advances in understanding how plant protection programs and alternative fungicides affect the taxonomic composition of the grapevine phyllosphere microbiota. Bacterial and fungal communities are primarily shaped by the plant compartment, vineyard location, and sampling time. Plant protection programs generally have a minor

Identification of potential vectors of the coconut lethal disease phytoplasma

, 2000
Lethal disease (LD) is a lethal yellowing-type disease of coconuts associated with phytoplasmas in Tanzania, but the insect vector for it has not yet been identified. In this study, the auchenorrynchous insects in LD-infected coconut fields were surveyed

Genome-wide analysis of the WRKY gene family and their positive responses to phytoplasma invasion in Chinese jujube

BMC Genomics, 2019
Background The WRKY gene family is one of the most important families in higher plants. As transcription factors, they actively respond to biotic and abiotic stress and are also involved in plant development. Chinese jujube (Ziziphus jujuba Mill.) is the

Comparison of Traditional and Next-Generation Approaches for Uncovering Phytoplasma Diversity, with Discovery of New Groups, Subgroups and Potential Vectors

Biology, 2022
Despite several decades’ effort to detect and identify phytoplasmas (Mollicutes) using PCR and Sanger sequencing focusing on diseased plants, knowledge of phytoplasma biodiversity and vector associations remains highly incomplete.

Lethal Effects of the Wild Potato Solanum bulbocastanum on the Planthopper Pentastiridius leporinus, a Vector of Bacterial Pathogens in Potato

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 6, Page 756-769, July 2026.
ABSTRACT The planthopper Pentastiridius leporinus [Hemiptera: Cixiidae] is a vector of the two plant pathogenic bacteria ‘Candidatus Arsenophonus phytopathogenicus’ and ‘Candidatus Phytoplasma solani’ causing ‘bacterial potato tuber wilt’ in potato.
