Identification and Genome Sequencing of Novel Virulent Strains of pv. Causing Rice Bacterial Blight in Zhejiang, China.

pv. () is the causative agent of rice bacterial blight (RBB), resulting in substantial harvest losses and posing a challenge to maintaining a stable global supply. In this study, strains isolated from Shaoxing, Quzhou, and Taizhou, where RBB occurred most frequently in Zhejiang Province in 2019, were selected as the subjects of research.

Genomic Characterization of Phage ZP3 and Its Endolysin LysZP with Antimicrobial Potential against pv. .

pv. (Xoo) is a significant bacterial pathogen responsible for outbreaks of bacterial leaf blight in rice, posing a major threat to rice cultivation worldwide. Effective management of this pathogen is crucial for ensuring rice yield and food security.

Nickel oxide nanoparticles: A new generation nanoparticles to combat bacteria Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae and enhance rice plant growth.

Recently, nanotechnology is among the most promising technologies used in all areas of research. The production of metal nanoparticles using plant parts has received significant attention for its environmental friendliness and effectiveness. Therefore, we investigated the possible applications of biological synthesized nickel oxide nanoparticles (NiONPs).

Copper oxide nanoparticles: an effective suppression tool against bacterial leaf blight of rice and its impacts on plants.

Background: To address the challenges of food security for the ever-increasing population, the emergence of nanotechnology provides an alternate technology of choice for the production of safer pesticides which serves as a substitute for conventional fertilizer. The antidrug resistance of Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo) and build-up of chemicals in the environment has made it necessary to find alternative safe techniques for effective disease management.

First Report of Leaf Spot Caused by Botrytis cinerea on Strawberry in China.

In the winter of 2022, circular or irregular leaf spots were observed on strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa) planted in commercial fields (cultivar 'xuetu', 'mengzhifu') in Yinzhou, Ningbo, Zhejiang, China (N29°48'48″, E121°39'47″), with disease incidence ranging from 10 to 15% in a field approximately 0.67 ha in size. The estimated crop loss associated with this disease was ~10%.

Bacteriophage-mediated biosynthesis of MnONPs and MgONPs and their role in the protection of plants from bacterial pathogens.

Introduction: oryzae pv. (Xoo) is the plant pathogen of Bacterial Leaf Blight (BLB), which causes yield loss in rice.

Methods: In this study, the lysate of Xoo bacteriophage X3 was used to mediate the bio-synthesis of MgO and MnO.

Retardation of the Calvin Cycle Contributes to the Reduced CO Assimilation Ability of Rice Stripe Virus-Infected and Suppresses Viral Infection.

Rice stripe virus (RSV) is naturally transmitted by the small brown planthopper and infects plants of the family . Under laboratory conditions, RSV can infect by mechanical inoculation, providing a useful system to study RSV-plant interactions. Measurements of CO assimilation ability and PSII photochemical efficiency showed that these were both reduced in plants infected by RSV.
