Characterization of the Serralysin-Like Gene of ‘Candidatus Liberibacter solanacearum’ Associated with Potato Zebra Chip Disease [PDF]

Phytopathology®, 2018
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.

Efficacy of Biological and Chemical Control Agents Against the Potato Psyllid (Bactericera cockerelli Šulc) Under Field Conditions

International Journal of Plant Biology
Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is the third most important food crop worldwide and a cornerstone of food security across the Andean region. However, its production is increasingly threatened by the potato psyllid Bactericera cockerelli (Šulc), the vector ...

Comparison of Potato and Asian Citrus Psyllid Adult and Nymph Transcriptomes Identified Vector Transcripts with Potential Involvement in Circulative, Propagative Liberibacter Transmission

Pathogens, 2014
The potato psyllid (PoP) Bactericera cockerelli (Sulc) and Asian citrus psyllid (ACP) Diaphorina citri Kuwayama are the insect vectors of the fastidious plant pathogen, Candidatus Liberibacter solanacearum (CLso) and Ca. L. asiaticus (CLas), respectively.

Interspecific interactions within a vector-borne complex are influenced by a co-occurring pathosystem

Scientific Reports, 2021
Potato virus Y (PVY) and zebra chip (ZC) disease are major threats to solanaceous crop production in North America. PVY can be spread by aphid vectors and through vegetative propagation in potatoes.

First Report of Zebra Chip Disease and “Candidatus Liberibacter solanacearum” on Potatoes in Idaho

Plant Disease, 2012
In September 2011, potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) tubers graded in a packing facility in south-central Idaho were observed with internal discolorations suggestive of zebra chip disease (ZC). Symptoms were observed in 1 to 2% of tubers of cv. Russet Norkotah and included brown spots and streaks especially in and near the vascular tissue.

Zebra Chip Disease Development in Relation to Plant Age and Time of ‘Candidatus Liberibacter solanacearum’ Infection [PDF]

Plant Disease, 2014
A 2-year field study was conducted to evaluate plant susceptibility to ‘Candidatus Liberibacter solanacearum’, the putative causal agent of zebra chip disease (ZC). Incubation period of ZC, the rate of symptom progress, and the rate of pathogen population growth were evaluated for individual plants infested on different weeks after emergence.

Culicoides biting midges (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) feeding on donkeys in the United Kingdom, with reference to the risk of transmission and persistence of African horse sickness virus

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 40, Issue 3, Page 560-567, September 2026.
Culicoides biting midges were collected at a donkey sanctuary in the United Kingdom using UV light‐suction traps. Culicoides were found in abundance and all specimens were identified to species level. Blood‐feeding on donkeys was confirmed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and sequencing of host bloodmeals. Donkeys could play a significant role in the

Writing Big in Plant Genomes: Advances, Challenges and Strategies for Targeted Large‐Fragment DNA Insertion

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 9, Page 6506-6520, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Precise genome editing has transformed plant biology and crop improvement by enabling targeted modification of endogenous loci. Beyond gene knockout and base editing, the site‐specific insertion of exogenous DNA, particularly large DNA fragments, has become a central goal for engineering complex traits, reconstructing metabolic pathways and ...

A new and accurate qPCR protocol to detect plant pathogenic bacteria of the genus ‘Candidatus Liberibacter’ in plants and insects

Scientific Reports, 2023
Four pathogenic bacterial species of the genus ‘Candidatus Liberibacter’, transmitted by psyllid vectors, have been associated with serious diseases affecting economically important crops of Rutaceae, Apiaceae and Solanaceae families.
