Biological control of the fire blight pathogen Erwinia amylovora using bacteriophages

چکیده
Abstract Bacteriophages offer unique benefits for the specific control of Erwinia amylovora , causative agent fire blight in pome fruit. Unfortunately, majority described phages were tested efficacy vitro only. Data from infection assays using pear slices or detached blossoms is rare and field trials are barely reported. It remains to be studied if bacteriophages could open field. This review summarizes current knowledge different infecting E. . In addition, requirements a phage optimally function as biological antimicrobial agriculture discussed together with ideal setup formulation best results.

Molecular and physiological properties of bacteriophages from North America and Germany affecting the fire blight pathogen Erwinia amylovora
For possible control of fire blight affecting apple and pear trees, we characterized Erwinia amylovora phages from North America and Germany. The genome size determined by electron microscopy (EM) was confirmed by sequence data and major coat proteins were identified from gel bands by mass spectroscopy. By their morphology from EM data, φEa1h and φEa100 were assigned to the Podoviridae and φEa1...
متن کاملBacteriophages of Erwinia amylovora.
Fifty bacteriophage isolates of Erwinia amylovora, the causal agent of fire blight, were collected from sites in and around the Niagara region of southern Ontario and the Royal Botanical Gardens, Hamilton, Ontario. Forty-two phages survived the isolation, purification, and storage processes. The majority of the phages in the collection were isolated from the soil surrounding trees exhibiting fi...
متن کاملIdentification of the fire blight pathogen, Erwinia amylovora, by PCR assays with chromosomal DNA.
Erwinia amylovora, the causative agent of fire blight, was identified independently from the common plasmid pEA29 by three different PCR assays with chromosomal DNA. PCR with two primers was performed with isolated DNA and with whole cells, which were directly added to the assay mixture. The oligonucleotide primers were derived from the ams region, and the PCR product comprised the amsB gene, w...
متن کاملAutoinduction in Erwinia amylovora: evidence of an acyl-homoserine lactone signal in the fire blight pathogen.
Erwinia amylovora causes fire blight disease of apple, pear, and other members of the Rosaceae. Here we present the first evidence for autoinduction in E. amylovora and a role for an N-acyl-homoserine lactone (AHL)-type signal. Two major plant virulence traits, production of extracellular polysaccharides (amylovoran and levan) and tolerance to free oxygen radicals, were controlled in a bacteria...
متن کاملMedfly Ceratitis capitata as Potential Vector for Fire Blight Pathogen Erwinia amylovora: Survival and Transmission
Monitoring the ability of bacterial plant pathogens to survive in insects is required for elucidating unknown aspects of their epidemiology and for designing appropriate control strategies. Erwinia amylovora is a plant pathogenic bacterium that causes fire blight, a devastating disease in apple and pear commercial orchards. Studies on fire blight spread by insects have mainly focused on pollina...
