The northern white rhinoceros is one of the rarest animals on Earth, with just two females left and no natural way for the species to reproduce. What lives off the Northwest coasts of Spain and ...

Plants are susceptible to a wide range of pathogens. For the common potato plant, one such threat is Pectobacterium atrosepticum, a bacterium that causes stems to blacken, tissues to decay ...

To obtain the structural information of CpxP in plant pathogenic bacteria for its pathogenic research, here, for the first time, the cpxP gene from Pectobacterium carotovorum subsp. carotovorum (PC1), ...

The structure and dynamics of biological systems govern their behaviour, and in turn the central processes in all living organisms. We use a multidisciplinary approach to study the organisation of ...

Twenty roots of each genotype were inoculated with two Pectobacterium chrysanthemi isolates in a randomized experiment (10 roots/isolate). After inoculation, roots were individually wrapped with PVC ...

There’s no shortage of novel biofungicides and bioinsecticides in development as the ag biologicals space gathers steam. But when it comes to fighting bacterial pathogens, says Israeli startup ...

This package automates discovery of discriminatory PCR or qPCR primers that can distinguish between arbitrary subgroups of input genomes or other biological sequences of interest. The package also ...

As outlined in their study, blackleg and soft rot are diseases caused by bacteria in the Pectobacterium species and, recently, the Dickeya species. Additionally, they can also lead to crop loss.

These diseases are caused by several bacteria, usually Pectobacterium species and Dickeya species, and can result in huge crop losses. The researchers found that of 456 bacterial samples collected ...

Soft rot, caused by Pectobacterium carotovorum subsp. carotovorum (Pcc), is the main bacterial disease affecting lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) crops in Brazil and leads to significant yield losses. This ...
