Assessment of Fatty Acid and Oxylipin Profile of Resprouting Olive Trees Positive to subsp. in Salento (Apulia, Italy).

subsp. ST53 (XFP), the causal agent of olive quick decline syndrome (OQDS), was thoroughly investigated after a 2013 outbreak in the Salento region of Southern Italy. Some trees from Ogliarola Salentina and Cellina di Nardò, susceptible cultivars in the Gallipoli area, the first XFP infection hotspot in Italy, have resprouted crowns and are starting to flower and yield fruits.

Chitosan-Coated Fosetyl-Al Nanocrystals' Efficacy on Colonized by .

() is a quarantine plant pathogen capable of colonizing the xylem of a wide range of hosts. Currently, there is no cure able to eliminate the pathogen from a diseased plant, but several integrated strategies have been implemented for containing the spread of . Nanotechnology represents an innovative strategy based on the possibility of maximizing the potential antibacterial activity by increasing the surface-to-volume ratio of nanoscale formulations.

Analysis of Italian isolates of subsp. and development of a real-time PCR-based diagnostic method.

subsp. (Pss) causes Stewart's vascular wilt of maize, and it is responsible for serious crop losses. Pss is indigenous to North America and spreads with maize seeds.

Fungal and bacterial oxylipins are signals for intra- and inter-cellular communication within plant disease.

Lipids are central at various stages of host-pathogen interactions in determining virulence and modulating plant defense. Free fatty acids may act as substrates for oxidizing enzymes [e.g.

Intra-Laboratory Evaluation of DNA Extraction Methods and Assessment of a Droplet Digital PCR for the Detection of Xanthomonas citri pv. citri on Different Citrus Species.

pv. (Xcc) and pv. (Xca), causal agents of citrus bacterial canker, are both regulated by the European Union to prevent their introduction.
