Twitching motility and biofilm formation are associated with tonB1 in Xylella fastidiosa [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
A mutation in the Xylella fastidiosa tonB1 gene resulted in loss of twitching motility and in significantly less biofilm formation as compared with a wild type.

Application of COMPOCHIP Microarray to Investigate the Bacterial Communities of Different Composts [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
A microarray spotted with 369 different 16S rRNA gene probes specific to microorganisms involved in the degradation process of organic waste during composting was developed. The microarray was tested with pure cultures, and of the 30,258 individual probe-

Charge Injection and Transport in an Isoindigo‐Based Polymer Transistor

open access: yesAdvanced Electronic Materials, Volume 12, Issue 6, 23 March 2026.
This study presents the charge injection and transport properties of field‐effect transistors based on an isoindigo‐bithiophene donor‐acceptor polymer semiconductor contacted with thiolated self‐assembled monolayer (SAM)‐functionalized electrodes. Temperature‐dependent contact characteristics are measured and simulated.

Reduced Tillage Intercropping With Thymus hyemalis Reshapes the Rare Soil Microbiome and Co‐Occurrence Networks in a Semi‐Arid Almond Orchard

open access: yesJournal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Environmentally friendly farming practices are gaining interest, and intercropping is a promising option to protect soil health, yet its effects on orchard microbiomes and functions remain underexplored. In this study, we assessed a 3‐year intercropping assay of Capparis spinosa (D1) and Thymus hyemalis (D2) with almond and reduced tillage in ...

How to eradicate an invasive forest pest without clear‐cutting

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 3, March 2026.
The results show that selective cutting applied together with modern remote sensing surveillance methods is an environmentally friendly alternative to the mandatory clear‐cutting for PWN control in the EU. Abstract The pine wood nematode (PWN), Bursaphelenchus xylophilus, is an invasive species causing high pine mortality in invaded areas outside its ...

Análise in silico de aquaporinas potencialmente envolvidas com o estresse hídrico nas interações café- e citros-Xylella fastidiosa. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
No Brasil, um dos importantes problemas enfrentados por produtores de café e citros envolve os danos causados pela bactéria Xylella fastidiosa. Esta bactéria causa o entupimento dos vasos do xilema e impede a passagem de água e nutrientes, o que causa ...

Polarization vision and the physiological basis for trichromatic vision in Philaenus spumarius: Understanding host‐seeking behaviour in insect vectors for Xylella fastidiosa control

open access: yesAnnals of Applied Biology, Volume 188, Issue 2, Page 503-519, March 2026.
We investigated the role of vision in host‐seeking behaviour by Philaenus spumarius, the main European vector of Xylella fastidiosa, through an integrated anatomical, optical, physiological, and behavioural study. Our data highlight that the spittlebug uses visual cues, including polarized light, which may aid in detecting the polarized reflections ...

Effect of different plant species and temperatures on the survival of Philaenus spumarius [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The spittlebug Philaenus spumarius (L.) has been identified as vector for the damaging bacterium X. fastidiosa in Europe. The knowledge about this insect biology and survival developing on native plants from Europe is crucial to establish ground cover ...

From bacterial predators to partners: phages in agriculture

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 6, Page 2729-2735, March 2026.
Summary Bacteriophages, viruses that infect bacteria, are critical players for shaping the taxonomic and functional composition of plant‐associated microbiomes. Yet, their roles in plant health remain overlooked, along with their implications for sustainable agriculture.
