Candidate nematicidal proteins in a new Pseudomonas veronii isolate identified by its antagonistic properties against Xiphinema index.

The nematode Xiphinema index affects grape vines and transmits important viruses associated with fanleaf degeneration. Pseudomonas spp. are an extensive bacterial group in which important biodegradation and/or biocontrol properties can occur for several strains in the group.

A draft genome sequence of R4: a grapevine ( L.) root-associated strain with high biocontrol potential.

A new plant commensal isolate (strain R4) was identified from a biocontrol screen. Isolated from grapevine roots from vineyards in central Chile, the strain R4 exhibited a slower yet equivalently effective nematicide activity as the well-characterized CHA0. Whole genome sequencing of strain R4 and comparative analysis among the available spp.
