ST1 and Paga Strains Cohabit in Olive Knots.

Two bacteria belonging to the and genera were isolated from olive knots. Both bacterial strains were omnipresent in this study's olive orchard with high susceptibility of the autochthonous olive genotypes indicating coevolution of bacteria with host plants. Genomes of two endemic bacteria show conserved core genomes and genome plasticity.

Modification of the Sensory Profile and Volatile Aroma Compounds of Tomato Fruits by the Scion × Rootstock Interactive Effect.

Sensory quality is of increasing importance to consumer decisions in choosing a product, and it is certainly an important factor in repurchasing in terms of meeting the necessary aroma quality and taste properties. To better understand the effects of rootstocks and scions on fruit quality, the sensory profile and volatile aroma composition of the fruits of hydroponically grown tomato plants were evaluated. Experiments were established using the tomato cultivars Clarabella and Estatio as scions during two spring-summer seasons.

Genome Sequence of sp. Strain ST1, Isolated from Olive (Olea europaea L.) Knot Galls in Croatia.

We report the genome sequence of a sp. strain isolated from olive knot galls. The genome size is 6.

Whole-Genome Sequence of a sp. Strain Isolated from an Olive (Olea europaea L.) Knot.

Here, we present the total genome sequence of sp. strain paga, a plant-associated bacterium isolated from knots present on olive trees grown on the Adriatic Coast. The genome size of sp.

MED Population Density as Affected by Rootstock-Modified Leaf Anatomy and Amino Acid Profiles in Hydroponically Grown Tomato.

is one of the most devastating pests in tomato greenhouse production. Insecticide resistance management for requires a novel approach that maximizes non-chemical methods for pest control. The aim of this study was to test the effects of rootstocks on populations in hydroponically grown tomato plants.

Diversity and Phylogenetic Analyses of Bacterial Symbionts in Three Whitefly Species from Southeast Europe.

Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius), Trialeurodes vaporariorum (Westwood), and Siphoninus phillyreae (Haliday) are whitefly species that harm agricultural crops in many regions of the world. These insects live in close association with bacterial symbionts that affect host fitness and adaptation to the environment. In the current study, we surveyed the infection of whitefly populations in Southeast Europe by various bacterial symbionts and performed phylogenetic analyses on the different symbionts detected.

Co-infection and localization of secondary symbionts in two whitefly species.

Background: Whiteflies are cosmopolitan phloem-feeding pests that cause serious damage to many crops worldwide due to direct feeding and vectoring of many plant viruses. The sweetpotato whitefly Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius) and the greenhouse whitefly Trialeurodes vaporariorum (Westwood) are two of the most widespread and damaging whitefly species. To complete their unbalanced diet, whiteflies harbor the obligatory bacterium Portiera aleyrodidarum.
