Specific approval and amendment First approved in 2004-09. Revised in 2016-09 and 2018-XX.2 1 Introduction Xylella fastidiosa causes many important plant diseases such as Pierce's disease of grapevine, phony peach disease, plum leaf scald and citrus variegated chlorosis disease, olive scorch disease, as well as leaf scorch on almond and on shade trees in urban landscapes, e.g. Ulmus sp. (elm), Quercus sp. (oak), Platanus sycamore (American sycamore), Morus sp. (mulberry) and Acer sp. (maple). Based on current knowledge, X. fastidiosa occurs primarily on the American continent (Almeida & Nunney, 2015). A distant relative found in Taiwan on Nashi pears (Leu & Su, 1993) is another species named X. taiwanensis (Su et al., 2016). However, X. fastidiosa was also confirmed on grapevine in Taiwan (Su et al., 2014). The presence of X. fastidiosa on almond and grapevine in Iran (Amanifar et al., 2014) was reported (based on isolation and pathogenicity tests, but so far strain(s) are not available). The reports from Turkey (Guldur et al., 2005; EPPO, 2014), Lebanon (Temsah et al., 2015; Habib et al., 2016) and Kosovo (Berisha et al., 1998; EPPO, 1998) are unconfirmed and are considered invalid. Since 2012, different European countries have reported interception of infected coffee plants from Latin America (Mexico, Ecuador, Costa Rica and Honduras) (Legendre et al., 2014; Bergsma-Vlami et al., 2015; Jacques et al., 2016).

  • Denitrification Likely Catalyzed by Endobionts in an Allogromiid Foraminifer
    The ISME Journal (2012) 6, 951–960 & 2012 International Society for Microbial Ecology All rights reserved 1751-7362/12 www.nature.com/ismej ORIGINAL ARTICLE Denitrification likely catalyzed by endobionts in an allogromiid foraminifer Joan M Bernhard1, Virginia P Edgcomb1, Karen L Casciotti2,4, Matthew R McIlvin2 and David J Beaudoin3 1Geology and Geophysics Department, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, Woods Hole, MA, USA; 2Marine Chemistry and Geochemistry Department, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, Woods Hole, MA, USA and 3Biology Department, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, Woods Hole, MA, USA Nitrogen can be a limiting macronutrient for carbon uptake by the marine biosphere. The process of denitrification (conversion of nitrate to gaseous compounds, including N2 (nitrogen gas)) removes bioavailable nitrogen, particularly in marine sediments, making it a key factor in the marine nitrogen budget. Benthic foraminifera reportedly perform complete denitrification, a process previously considered nearly exclusively performed by bacteria and archaea. If the ability to denitrify is widespread among these diverse and abundant protists, a paradigm shift is required for biogeochemistry and marine microbial ecology. However, to date, the mechanisms of foraminiferal denitrification are unclear, and it is possible that the ability to perform complete denitrification is because of the symbiont metabolism in some foraminiferal species. Using sequence analysis and GeneFISH, we show that for a symbiont-bearing foraminifer, the potential for denitrification resides in the endobionts. Results also identify the endobionts as denitrifying pseudomonads and show that the allogromiid accumulates nitrate intracellularly, presumably for use in denitrification. Endobionts have been observed within many foraminiferal species, and in the case of associations with denitrifying bacteria, may provide fitness for survival in anoxic conditions.

Urban) is an important vegetable and medicinal herb. On the south of Vietnam, a new disease withsymptoms of bacterial blight in stems, stolons, petioles and laminasoccurred and caused severe damage at Indian pennywort fields. The purpose of this study is to identify the causal agent of the new disease and its effecton Indian pennywort at post-harvest stage. The results showed that 7 of 18 pathogen strains coded H1-1, H1-3, H2-1, H3-1, H4-4, H5-2, H6-2, caused severe blight damage. Characteristics of the bacterial strains were Gram negative, aerobicand produced fluorescence onto King’s B medium, indicating thepathogen belongs to Pseudomonas genus. This bacterial Pseudomonas was positive of levan production and potato soft rot, which were confirmed that it wasPseudomonasmarginalis. This bacterial pathogenalso caused soft rot in post-harvest Indian pennywort. This is the first report ofP. marginalis on Indian pennywort in Vietnam.

A plant disease con- ronment, shows an extremely low possibility of a resistant trolling agent is used which contains a bacterial cell of pathogenic bacterium to emerge, and has a superior con- Pseudomonas rhodesiae having controlling ability trolling ability against various plant diseases (in particu- against plant diseases, preferably a bacterial cell of lar, soft rot and canker of leaf and root vegetables) ; a Pseudomonas rhodesiae FERM BP-10912 or its variant plant disease controlling agent containing the microor- having controlling ability against plant diseases.

  • Pseudomonas Corrugata and Pseudomonas Marginalis Associated with the Collapse of Tomato Plants in Rockwool Slab Hydroponic Culture
    Plant Protect. Sci. Vol. 46, 2010, No. 1: 1–11 Pseudomonas corrugata and Pseudomonas marginalis Associated with the Collapse of Tomato Plants in Rockwool Slab Hydroponic Culture Václav KůDELA, Václav KREJZAR and Iveta PÁnkOVÁ Division of Plant Heath, Crop Research Institute, Prague-Ruzyně, Czech Republic Abstract Kůdela V., Krejzar V., Pánková I. (2010): Pseudomonas corrugata and Pseudomonas marginalis associated with the collapse of tomato plants in rockwool slab hydroponic culture. Plant Protect. Sci., 46: 1-11. Plant pathogenic species Pseudomonas corrugata and P. marginalis were detected and determined in col- lapsed tomato plants in rockwool slab hydroponic culture in southern Moravia, Czech Republic. Surprisingly, P. marginalis was also determined before planting in apparently healthy grafted tomato transplants grown in hydroponic culture. Moreover, non-pathogenic P. fluorescens, P. putida, P. synxantha, and Stenotrophomonas malthophilia were identified. The Biolog Identification GN2 MicroPlateTM System (Biolog, Inc., Hayward, USA) was used for identification of bacterial isolates. Cultures of P. corrugata and P. marginalis were used in a green- house pathogenicity experiment. Seven weeks old tomato plants of cv. Moneymaker grown in sterilised perlite were inoculated into the stem with a hypodermic needle at one point above the cotyledon node. In inoculated tomato plants, disease symptoms were observed that included external and internal dark brown lesions around the inoculation site, watering and collapse of pith and sometimes also vascular browning and wilting of leaves. In comparison with P. marginalis, P. corrugata appeared to be a much stronger pathogen. Both tested Pseudomonas species were recovered from inoculated tomato plants. P. corrugata was found to move both upwards to the apex of the stem and downwards from the site of the inoculated stem into roots.
