Genome sequence of isolated from rose leaves exhibiting anthracnose symptoms in Potchefstroom, South Africa.

We present the genome sequence of isolated from rose leaves exhibiting anthracnose symptoms. The genome was assembled to 53.2 Mbp organized into 753 scaffolds having an N50 of 582,313 kbp and a GC content of 52.

Pathogenicity, phylogenomic, and comparative genomic study of sensu lato affecting sweet cherry in California.

Unlabelled: To gain insights into the diversity of sensu lato affecting sweet cherry in California, we sequenced and analyzed the phylogenomic and genomic architecture of 86 fluorescent pseudomonads isolated from symptomatic and asymptomatic cherry tissues. Fifty-eight isolates were phylogenetically placed within the species complex and taxonomically classified into five genomospecies: pv. , , , , and .

First Report of causing Canker and Twig Dieback of Peach () in California, U.S.A.

California leads the United States in peach (Prunus persica L.) production, with approximately 505,000 tons produced in 2021 and valued at $378.3 million (California Agriculture Statistics Review, 2021-2022).

Phylogenomic analyses and comparative genomics of Pseudomonas syringae associated with almond (Prunus dulcis) in California.

We sequenced and comprehensively analysed the genomic architecture of 98 fluorescent pseudomonads isolated from different symptomatic and asymptomatic tissues of almond and a few other Prunus spp. Phylogenomic analyses, genome mining, field pathogenicity tests, and in vitro ice nucleation and antibiotic sensitivity tests were integrated to improve knowledge of the biology and management of bacterial blast and bacterial canker of almond. We identified Pseudomonas syringae pv.

Determining the Main Infection Courts in Sweet Cherry Trees of the Canker Pathogens , , and .

The major fungal canker pathogens causing branch dieback of sweet cherry trees in California include , , and . These pathogens have long been known to infect cherry trees mainly through pruning wounds. However, recent field observations revealed numerous shoots and fruiting spurs exhibiting dieback symptoms with no apparent pruning wounds or mechanical injuries.
