Sweet potato is a subsistence crop cultivated worldwide. Although it is generally considered tolerant to different diseases, it is quite susceptible to the fungus Plenodomus destruens that causes foot-rot disease. Plant growth-promoting bacteria associated with sweet potato remain poorly studied,
Bird of paradise, also known as crane flower (Strelitzia reginae Aiton), is a monocotyledonous flowering plant indigenous to South Africa. It is commonly grown and commercialized as an ornamental plant and it is appreciated for its beautiful flowers. In October of 2008, dark leaf spots and leaf
From June 2009 to November 2010, a disease was observed on peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) in Ganzhou City, Jiangxi Province, China. Infected plants initially exhibited yellow leaves, then defoliated, and finally wilted and died. Basal stems, pegs, pods, and roots became black and rotted, with many
Fusarium solani f. sp. eumartii, historically considered solely a pathogen of potato (Solanum tuberosum), was associated with tomato plants (Lycopersicon esculentum) exhibiting foot rot symptoms in California. The pathogenicity of California isolates of F. solani f. sp. eumartii from potato plants
Dickeya zeae is a globally important pathogenic bacterium that infects a number of crops, including rice, maize, potato, and banana. Bacterial foot rot of rice caused by D. zeae is one of the most important bacterial diseases of rice in China and some Southeast Asian countries. To investigate the
During 2008, fruit rot of pumpkin (Cucurbita pepo L.) occurred on several cultivars in commercial fields in northeast and northwest Arkansas. Disease incidence ranged from 50 to 75% of the fruit, which were unmarketable. Symptoms included large (>10 cm), brown, corky lesions where the fruit was
From 2006 to 2010, peanut (Arachis hypogaea) pod rot became more prevalent in northern China, especially in the Sha River drainage area. The incidence of pod rot ranged from 30 to 100%. Typical symptoms were black rot of the pods, but no obvious morphological abnormality of the aboveground parts of
Biological control is a promising approach to reduce plant diseases caused by nematodes to ensure high productivity in agricultural production. Large-scale analyses of genetic variation in fungal species used for biocontrol can generate knowledge regarding interaction mechanisms that can improve
Dickeya zeae is an emerging rice (Oryza sativa) pathogen causing bacterial foot rot. Related pathogens affect maize (Zea mays) and potato (Solanum tuberosum) and a variety of important ornamental and floral plants. Here, we present the draft genome sequence of D. zeae DZ2Q, an isolate obtained from
Diseases caused by Fusarium pathogens inflict major yield and quality losses on many economically important plant species worldwide, including cereals. Fusarium crown rot (FCR), caused by Fusarium pseudograminearum, is a cereal disease that occurs in many arid and semi-arid cropping regions of the
Bacterial soft rot is a disease complex caused by multiple genera of gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria, with Dickeya and Pectobacterium being the most widely studied soft-rot bacterial pathogens. In addition to soft rot, these bacteria also cause blackleg of potato, foot rot of rice, and
