Polyamine profiles of 91 pectolytic and other plant-associated strains from 30 taxa of the Enterobacteriaceae were obtained by gradient high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Pectobacterium carotovorum, basonym Erwinia carotovora, contained a high amount of putrescine and less diaminopropane. Diaminopropane was absent in Pectobacterium chrysanthemi, basonym E. chrysanthemi, whereas cadaverine was present in addition to the major compound putrescine. This chemotaxonomic difference reflects the deepest phylogenetic branching point within the recently emended genus Pectobacterium which lies between the two species P. carotovorum and P. chrysanthemi. Both important soft rot pathogens are easily distinguishable from each other and from the type species of the genus Erwinia as diaminopropane is the only major polyamine compound in E. amylovora. Chemotaxonomic heterogeneity is also emerging with respect to DYE's Amylovora group proposed in an early phytopathological concept.

Bacterial soft rot causes major crop losses annually and can be caused by several species from multiple genera. These bacteria have a broad host range and often infect produce through contact with soil. The main genera causing bacterial soft rot are and , both of which have widespread geographical distribution.

The regulator of the canonical Wnt pathway, leucine-rich repeat-containing G protein-coupled receptor 5 (LGR5), is expressed in the stem cell compartment of several tissues and overexpressed in different human carcinomas. The isoform of the stem cell marker LGR5, named LGR5Δ5 and first described by our group, is associated with prognosis and metastasis in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) and soft tissue sarcoma (STS). In a proof-of-principle analysis, the function of LGR5Δ5 was investigated in HEK293T cells, a model cell line of the Wnt pathway, compared to full-length LGR5 (FL) expression.

Pathogen-induced fruit decay is a significant threat to the kiwifruit industry, leading to considerable economic losses annually. The cell-wall-degrading enzymes (CWDEs) secreted by these pathogens are crucial for penetrating the cell wall and accessing nutrients. Among them, species are recognized as major causal agents of soft rot in kiwifruit, yet their pathogenic mechanisms are not well understood.

African eggplant (Solanum aethiopicum gilo group) is a nutritious vegetable widely commercialized in Ghana. In the 2021 planting season (May-July), collar rot symptoms were observed on African eggplant on a farm at Domeabra, Legon, and Okumaning in the Central (N5° 48' 11″, W1° 26' 48″), Greater Accra (N5° 39' 34″, W0° 11' 34″) and Eastern (N6° 8' 34″, W0° 55' 59″) regions of Ghana, respectively. Disease incidence was 8-15% in the different farms.
