Article Synopsis
- A study tracked the fire blight pathogen Ea110 on apple flower stigmas from 2016 to 2019, finding significant pathogen populations on newly opened flowers and limited growth on older stigmas.
- Over half of the experiments showed that stigmas inoculated on the first day of bloom had high pathogen counts, while those open for longer durations had much lower populations.
- Population surges of the pathogen were linked to specific weather conditions, occurring mostly at night and indicating that the pathogen can infect flowers in colder temperatures than previously thought.
