Pseudomonas azotoformans and Pseudomonas putida: Novel kiwifruit-native biological control agents against Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae

Biological Control
Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae (Psa), the etiological agent of the bacterial canker in Actinidia plants, remains the main threat to kiwifruit orchards worldwide. Though environment-friendly disease control methods based on biological control agents (

Lactic acid bacteria: A sustainable solution against phytopathogenic agents

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 16, Issue 6, December 2024.
This review highlights the role of lactic acid bacteria as biological control agents and discusses their potential as alternative strategies to control phytopathogens towards a sustainable agriculture. LAB have a long history in food science and present the GRAS status, making them good candidates for applications in plant protection.

The application of the CRISPR–Cas9 system in Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae

Journal of Medical Microbiology, 2020
Introduction.Pseudomonas syringaepv. actinidiae (Psa) has emerged as a major bacterial pathogen of kiwifruit cultivation throughout the world.Aim.We aim to introduce a CRISPR–Cas9 system, a commonly used genome editing tool, into Psa. The protocols may also be useful in otherPseudomonasspecies.Methodology.Using standard molecular biology techniques, we

Bacterial pathogenesis of plants: Future challenges from a microbial perspective [PDF]

, 2016
Plant infection is a complicated process. Upon encountering a plant, pathogenic microorganisms must first adapt to life on the epiphytic surface, and survive long enough to initiate an infection.

Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae survival in point-inoculated kiwifruit vines

New Zealand Plant Protection, 2018
The survival and spread over time of Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae (Psa) in point-inoculated kiwifruit vines is poorly understood. Forty-eight 2-year-old vines of Actinidia chinensis var. deliciosa ‘Hayward’ and A. chinensis var. chinensis ‘Hort16A’ were inoculated 30 cm above the crown, either during the active growth (autumn) or dormant ...

Widespread distribution of kiwifruit bacterial canker caused by the European Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae genotype in the main production areas of Portugal

Phytopathologia Mediterranea, 2012
In Portugal, in 2010, after the first recorded occurrence of Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae (Psa) in a few kiwifruit orchards, and following subsequent records of suspected symptoms at the beginning of 2011, an extensive survey concerning Psa was ...

Diversity and Comparative Genomic Analysis of Pseudomonas Syringae Pv. Actinidiae Prophages

Physiological and Molecular Plant Pathology
Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae is a pandemic agent of bacterial canker in kiwifruit. The virulence of bacteria can be mediated by horizontal gene transfer in a co-evolutionary process with other microorganisms, enriching their genetic repertoire and enhancing adaptation strategies and fitness.
