Impact of Phage Therapy on <i>Pseudomonas syringae</i> pv. <i>syringae</i> and Plant Microbiome Dynamics Through Coevolution and Field Experiments Open
Bacteriophages (phages) are viruses that infect and lyse bacteria and have the potential for controlling bacterial diseases. Isolation of phages targeting the cherry pathogen Pseudomonas syringae pv. syringae ( Pss ) led to five distinct p…

The interplay between scion genotype, root microbiome, and <i>Neonectria ditissima</i> apple canker Open
Severity of European apple canker caused by Neonectria ditissima can vary between locations and apple genotypes. We investigated how location, cold storage/planting season, and apple scion genotype affect root-associated microbial communit…

Amplicon-based metagenomics to study the effect of coir age and wood biochar on microbiome in relation to strawberry yield Open
In the UK, strawberry is mostly grown in coconut coir substrate under protection. Coir substrate is usually used only for one or two cropping seasons because the continuous reuse of coir without any treatment leads to yield decline. In thi…

Investigating the inoculum dynamics of <i>Cladosporium</i> on the surface of raspberry fruits and in the air Open
Raspberry production is under threat from the emerging fungal pathogenic genus Cladosporium . We used amplicon‐sequencing, coupled with qPCR, to investigate how fruit age, fruit location within a polytunnel, polytunnel location and samplin…
View article: Relative contribution of season, site, scion and rootstock genotype, and susceptibility to European canker to the variability in bacterial and fungal communities in apple leaf scar tissues
Relative contribution of season, site, scion and rootstock genotype, and susceptibility to European canker to the variability in bacterial and fungal communities in apple leaf scar tissues Open
Neonectria ditissima infects apple trees through wounds, causing European canker. In the UK, the most important entry site for N . ditissima is leaf scar. Specific apple endophytes may contribute to cultivar resistance/tolerance to the pat…

From Endophyte Community Analysis to Field Application: Control of Apple Canker (Neonectria ditissima) with Epicoccum nigrum B14-1 Open
Apple canker, caused by Neonectria ditissima (Tul. and C. Tul.) Samuels and Rossman, is a major disease of apples (Malus domestica) worldwide. N. ditissima infects through natural and artificial wounds. Infected wood develops canker lesion…

Quantitative trait loci associated with apple endophytes during pathogen infection Open
The plant phyllosphere is colonized by microbial communities that can influence the fitness and growth of their host, including the host’s resilience to plant pathogens.There are multiple factors involved in shaping the assemblages of bact…

Development of European apple canker on different cultivars in relation to planting time at three sites in the UK Open
European apple canker, caused by Neonectria ditissima , is a damaging disease of apple in many production regions worldwide. The pathogen infects apple trees through artificial or natural wounds. The most damaging phase of the disease is t…

The Influence of Host Genotypes on the Endophytes in the Leaf Scar Tissues of Apple Trees and Correlation of the Endophytes with Apple Canker (<i>Neonectria ditissima</i>) Development Open
Bacterial and fungal endophytes may help their host in terms of improved tolerance to abiotic and biotic stresses and enhanced growth. European apple canker, caused by Neonectria ditissima, is widespread in apple-growing regions. Infection…

Life at the edge – the cytology and physiology of the biotroph to necrotroph transition in <i>Hymenoscyphus fraxineus</i> during lesion formation in ash Open
The progress of colonization of ash stems from ascospore inocula of Hymenoscyphus fraxineus was examined by light and electron microscopy. The main aim of the study was to characterize the cytology of the biotroph to necrotroph transition …

Hormetic UV‐C seed treatments for the control of tomato diseases Open
Hormesis is a dose response phenomenon in which low, non‐damaging doses of a stressor bring about a positive response in the organism undergoing treatment. Evidence is provided here that hormetic UV ‐C treatments of tomato seed can control…
