Little is known about specific host chemistry effects on zebra chip disease symptom development in potatoes (Solanum tuberosum). This research compared chemical profiles and defense-related enzyme levels between non-symptomatic and zebra chip-symptomatic potato tubers. Levels of phenolics, five amino acids, peroxidases, polyphenol oxidases, chitinases,

Zebra chip and purple top: An overview on two emerging diseases of potato
Potatoes rich in vitamins, minerals, antioxidants were a life-saving food. But it’s yield suffers a huge loss due to disease-pest infestation. Emerging diseases pose significant threats to potato cultivation and its production.

Protein kinase R-like ER kinase (PERK) is involved in the endoplasmic reticulum stress response of its psyllid vector to Candidatus Liberibacter solanacearum infection [PDF]
Vector-borne transmission of plant and animal pathogens requires active engagement of the vector’s immune system, as pathogens must overcome barriers and exploit host cellular mechanisms. Candidatus Liberibacter solanacearum (CLso) and C. L.

Variations in Zebra Chip Disease Expression and Tuber Biochemistry in Response to Vector Density. [PDF]
Zebra chip (ZC) disease, caused by ‘Candidatus Liberibacter solanacearum’, which is transmitted by the potato psyllid, has negatively affected potato production in the United States for over a decade. The present study was conducted to evaluate the affect of the number of bacteriliferous psyllids on ‘Ca. L.

Bacterial communities of the psyllid pest Bactericera cockerelli (Hemiptera: Triozidae) Central haplotype of tomato crops cultivated at different locations of Mexico [PDF]
Background The psyllid, Bactericera cockerelli, is an insect vector of ‘Candidatus Liberibacter’ causing “Zebra chip” disease that affects potato and other Solanaceae crops worldwide. In the present study, we analyzed the bacterial communities associated

Characterization of the Serralysin-Like Gene of 'Candidatus Liberibacter solanacearum' Associated with Potato Zebra Chip Disease. [PDF]
The nonculturable bacterium ‘Candidatus Liberibacter solanacearum’ is the causative agent of zebra chip disease in potato. Computational analysis of the ‘Ca. L. solanacearum’ genome revealed a serralysin-like gene based on conserved domains characteristic of genes encoding metalloprotease enzymes similar to serralysin.

Potato Zebra Chip Disease: A Phytopathological Tale [PDF]
Potato zebra chip (ZC) disease is a relative newcomer to the world of important potato diseases. First reported in Mexico in the 1990s, by 2004-2005 the disease was causing serious economic damage in parts of Texas. ZC is now widespread in the south-western and central United States, Mexico, Central America, and was recently reported in New Zealand ...
