Unlabelled: Summary Taxonomy: Bacteria; Proteobacteria; gamma subdivision; order Enterobacteriales; family Enterobacteriaceae; genus Erwinia. Microbiological properties: Gram-negative, motile rods. Related species:E. carotovora (soft-rot diseases), E. chrysanthemi (soft-rot diseases), E. (Pantoea) stewartii (Stewart's wilt of corn), E. (Pantoea) herbicola (epiphyte).
Host Range: Affects rosaceous plants, primarily members of the Pomoideae. Economically important hosts are apple and pear. The commercial implications of fireblight outbreaks are aggravated by the limited effectiveness of current control measures. Disease symptoms:E. amylovora infection is characterized by water soaking of infected tissue, followed by wilting and tissue necrosis. Necrosis gives tissue a scorched, blackened appearance, giving rise to the name fireblight. Symptoms are often localized to blossom bracts or young shoots but, in highly susceptible hosts, can spread systemically resulting in death of the entire tree. Infections can vary in severity depending on climatic conditions and host susceptibility. Useful web site:http://www.agric.gov.ab.ca.

Background: The modification of protein substrates by small ubiquitin-related modifier (SUMO) plays a vital role in plants subjected to biotic and abiotic stresses. However, its role in the stress responses of Brassica plants remains poorly understood.
Results: A genome-wide analysis revealed the presence of 30 SUMOylation genes in the Caixin genome.

one of the most aggressive pectinolytic phytopathogens, causes blackleg disease in potatoes, resulting in significant economic losses and adversely impacting one of the world's most important food crops. The diagnostics methods are critical in monitoring the latent infection for international trade of potato seed tubers and in implementation of control strategies. Our study employed a whole-genome comparative approach, identifying unique target gene loci (LysR and TetR family of transcriptional regulators gene regions) and designing loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) and a multi-gene-based multiplex TaqMan qPCR assays for specific detection and differentiation of .

is a soft rot phytopathogenic bacterium mainly infecting potatoes. The virulence of is controlled by quorum sensing (QS), a communication mechanism which enables bacteria to coordinate their behavior in a population density-dependent manner. Inhibiting QS has gained interest as a sustainable alternative to conventional treatments to control pathogens in agriculture.
