Temporal variations in peridermal skin development between five kiwifruit (Actinidia chinensis) selections

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Crop and Horticultural Science, Volume 53, Issue 5, Page 3049-3065, December 2025.
ABSTRACT The fruit skin provides a barrier to the developing tissues within. In some fruit, such as the dead‐skinned varieties of kiwifruit, the skin layer develops over time. Observations in kiwifruit orchards suggest that different selectionss have different susceptibility to skin damage caused by common orchard management spray practices.

Diverse Pseudomonas Species Engage in Beneficial and Suppressive Interactions with the Kiwifruit Pathogen Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae Across Actinidia Germplasm

open access: yesPhytobiomes Journal
In 2010, a Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae biovar 3 (Psa3) incursion into New Zealand devastated susceptible kiwifruit (Actinidia chinensis) orchards.

Dissemination of Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae through pollen and its epiphytic life on leaves and fruits

open access: yesPhytopathologia Mediterranea, 2012
The role of pollen in disseminating Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae (Psa ) in kiwifruit orchards was investigated and the survival of the pathogen as an epiphyte on leaves and fruits was followed, from pollination time until the pre-harvest season ...

Unveiling Host Interactions and Evolutionary Constraints of a Novel Bacteriophage Infecting Xanthomonas hortorum pv. vitians

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 17, Issue 6, December 2025.
A transposon insertion sequencing approach revealed that the novel phage ΦXhv‐1 targets Xanthomonas hortorum pv. vitians through LPS O‐antigen recognition. Mutations in LPS conferring phage resistance reduce bacterial motility and virulence, highlighting a trade‐off that may naturally constrain resistance development and support the sustainable phage ...

Some Like it Hot: Efficiency of the Type III Secretion System has Multiple Thermosensitive Behaviours in the Pseudomonas syringae Complex

open access: yesMolecular Plant Pathology, Volume 26, Issue 12, December 2025.
We characterised the role of temperature on T3SS efficiency in P. syringae, showing that bacterial behaviour in response to temperature is highly variable among strains, even among very closely related ones. Our study provides further evidence of the need to investigate the diversity of pathogenic organisms beyond model strains.

AraC‐Family Transcriptional Regulator WhpR Controls Virulence in Pseudomonas savastanoi pv. savastanoi Through Regulation of Indole Metabolism

open access: yesMicrobial Biotechnology, Volume 18, Issue 10, October 2025.
The WHOP genomic island of Pseudomonas syringae complex pathogens integrates indole degradation, multicellular behaviour, fitness and virulence regulation in woody hosts. We propose that the ipoABC and dhoAB operons mediate indole catabolism to anthranilate, which is channeled into the tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCA).

Spider and harvestmen biodiversity in New Zealand horticultural ecosystems

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 52, Issue 3, Page 255-273, September 2025.
ABSTRACT Spiders contribute to pest suppression in agroecosystems by direct and non‐direct consumption. They provide an ecosystem service which provides economic gains to horticultural growing systems, such as apples, wine grapes, and kiwifruit. Very few studies on spider biodiversity in cropping systems have been completed in New Zealand, and no ...

RNA‐binding proteins orchestrating immunity in plants

open access: yesThe Plant Journal, Volume 123, Issue 5, September 2025.
SUMMARY RNA‐binding proteins (RBPs) direct the function and fate of RNA throughout the RNA lifecycle and play important roles in plant immunity, orchestrating the post‐transcriptional reprogramming of the transcriptome following induction of plant immune responses, a process that we term ‘RBP‐mediated immunity’. Although the importance of specific RBPs

Occurrence of Pseudomonas syringae pvs. actinidiae, actinidifoliorum and Other P. syringae Strains on Kiwifruit in Northern Spain

open access: yesLife
Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae (Psa), the agent causing bacterial canker of kiwifruit, has been present in the Principality of Asturias (PA), Northern Spain, since 2013, although with restricted distribution.
