Article Synopsis
- - In February 2022, 16 Canary Island date palms in Mexico City displayed symptoms of pink rot disease, with a 27% incidence and 12% severity, showing necrotic lesions that progressed from the petiole to the rachis.
- - Mycelia from infected tissues were cultured on potato dextrose agar, resulting in 20 fungal colonies that resembled the characteristics of a known pathogen, identified as (Biourge) Schroers.
- - Genomic DNA was extracted from one fungal isolate, sequenced for the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) and large subunit (LSU) regions, and placed in a specific phylogenetic clade, confirming its pathogenicity through tests on date
is the fungal symbiont associated with the ambrosia beetle , a plague complex that attacks avocado, among other hosts, causing a disease named dieback (FD). However, the contribution of to the establishment of this disease remains unknown. To advance the understanding of pathogenicity, we profiled its exo-metabolome through metabolomics tools based on accurate mass spectrometry.

In this study, the human antimicrobial peptides, lysozyme and β-defensin 2, were targeted to the vascular tissue of Mexican lime (Citrus x aurantifolia [Christm.

- Researchers discovered a new virus, named Citrus Necrotic Spot Virus (CNSV), linked to Citrus leprosis in orange and other citrus trees in Mexico that were previously unidentifiable through existing methods.
- The virus belongs to the proposed Dichorhavirus genus and has two negative-strand RNA components, with virions found in the cytoplasm and associated with channels that connect plant cells.
- This study enhances understanding of the pathogen's characteristics and how plants respond, indicating a similar response pattern to other non-systemic pathogens.
