Pseudomonas syringae is a rod-shaped, Gram-negative bacterium with polar flagella.As a plant pathogen, it can infect a wide range of species, and exists as over 50 different pathovars, [2] all of which are available to researchers from international culture collections such as the NCPPB, ICMP, and others.
Macassane, a new variety released in 2011, has been shown to have improved resistance to bacterial leaf blight and is being used currently in Mozambique. [10] Traditional treatments, such as the applications of copper compounds or antibiotics, are largely ineffective in the control of bacterial leaf blight.
Bacterial seedling blight of rice (Oryza sativa), caused by pathogen Burkholderia plantarii [4] Early blight of potato and tomato, caused by species of the ubiquitous fungal genus Alternaria; Leaf blight of the grasses e.g. Ascochyta species [5] and Alternaria triticina that causes blight in wheat [6]
Bacterial soft rots are caused by several types of bacteria, but most commonly by species of gram-negative bacteria, Erwinia, Pectobacterium, and Pseudomonas. It is a destructive disease of fruits, vegetables, and ornamentals found worldwide, and affects genera from nearly all the plant families.
While these blight-caused blockages cause the decline of an infected tree, the plant rarely dies. [1] Co-infection between citrus blight and citrus greening disease (HLB) is possible, and is so severe a health issue that trees infected by both diseases usually die. [3] The disease affects trees of all ages and types, including seedlings and ...
1. Minoxidil. Let’s start this list off with your best option: minoxidil. The generic version of Rogaine®, minoxidil is an FDA-approved treatment available as a liquid, foam and oral medication.
Bacterial wilt is a disease of the vascular tissue. When a plant is infected, E. tracheiphila multiplies within the xylem , eventually causing mechanical blockage of the water transport system. The first sign of infection, which appears about five days after acquisition, is the wilting of individual leaves on a single stem.
There are methods to treat powdery mildew using home-made preparations including fresh milk, which contains the active anti-pathogenic compound lecithin. [9] Lecithin is recognized by the European Union as a treatment for powdery mildews diseases and is commonly available in the soy-derived formulation ‘soy lecithin’. [ 10 ]
