Settling and feeding behavior of sharpshooter vectors of Xylella fastidiosa on plum genotypes resistant to leaf scald disease
2020-11-01
Abstract excerpt
Plum leaf scald (PLS) is a serious disease caused by Xylella fastidiosa subsp. multiplex, a pathogenic bacterium transmitted by xylem-sap feeding leafhoppers, commonly named sharpshooters (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae: Cicadellinae). In Brazil, the development of plum genotypes that apparently are not infected under field conditions has opened new perspectives for disease control based on host plant resistance. For exa...
