Induced resistance in sweet orange against Xanthomonas citri subsp. citri by hexanoic acid [PDF]
Abstract Citrus canker, caused by Xanthomonas citri subsp. citri, is a serious and wide-spread disease of citrus, causing losses in fruit yield and quality. There are no highly effective citrus canker disease control measures. Repeated spray applications of copper are often employed to protect fruit from bacterial infection with consequences for copper

Abstract Background Bacterial wilt of enset (Ensete ventricosum (Welw.) Cheesman) is a severe disease caused by Xanthomonas campestris pv. musacearum, resulting in complete crop failure and considerable damage. This study assessed the biochemical responses of two enset clones (one resistant and one susceptible) when inoculated with the pathogen and ...

Engineering the bacterial nutrition strategy to control plant diseases
This commentary on Wang et al. (2025) and Phan et al. (2025) highlights previously undiscovered Xanthomonas pathways for nutrition acquisition, explains how Xanthomonas bacteria hijack host molecular machinery through their effector proteins, and discusses how these studies can be used to develop new disease resistance mechanisms.

The ‘Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus’ secreted protein SDE525 suppresses the plant jasmonic acid defence pathway by targeting the citrus NACα protein, thereby weakening citrus resistance against the Asian citrus psyllid. ABSTRACT Citrus huanglongbing (HLB), caused by the phloem‐limited bacterium ‘Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus’ (CLas), is one of ...

Xanthomonas bacteriophages: a review of their biology and biocontrol applications in agriculture
Phytopathogenic bacteria are economically important because they affect crop yields and threaten the livelihoods of farmers worldwide. The genus Xanthomonas is particularly significant because it is associated with some plant diseases that cause ...

Genetically modified (GM) sweet‐oranges with downregulated CitMTSE1 gene showed reduced citrus black spot severity and citrus canker incidence, confirming terpene modulation as a promising strategy for sustainable field citrus disease resistance. Abstract BACKGROUND Citrus black spot (CBS), caused by Phyllosticta citricarpa, and citrus canker (CC ...

Benzenetriol-Derived Compounds against Citrus Canker
In order to replace the huge amounts of copper salts used in citrus orchards, alternatives have been sought in the form of organic compounds of natural origin with activity against the causative agent of citrus canker, the phytopathogen Xanthomonas citri
