To obtain a higher resolution of the phylogenetic relationships of species within a genus or
genera within a family, multilocus sequence analysis (MLSA) is currently a widely used …

The soft rot Enterobacteriaceae (SRE) Pectobacterium and Dickeya species (formerly
classified as pectinolytic Erwinia spp.) cause important diseases on potato and other arable …

Understanding of the phylogeny and interrelationships of the genera within the order
'Enterobacteriales' has proven difficult using the 16S rRNA gene and other single-gene or …

The taxonomy of Enterobacter has a complicated history, with several species transferred to
and from this genus. Classification of strains is difficult owing to its polyphyletic nature …

Bacterial diseases are one of the most important biotic constraints of potato production,
especially in tropical and subtropical regions, and in some warm temperate regions of the …

Pectinolytic bacteria have been recently isolated from diseased potato plants exhibiting
blackleg and slow wilt symptoms found in a number of European countries and Israel. These …

Decline-diseases are complex and becoming increasingly problematic to tree health
globally. Acute Oak Decline (AOD) is characterized by necrotic stem lesions and galleries of …

Acute Oak Decline (AOD) is a relatively new decline-disease affecting both native oak
species (Quercus robur and Q. petraea) in Britain. The key aim of this study was to describe …

Oak declines are multifactorial processes in which bark and wood boring (BWB) beetles can
act as major inciting factors, killing the weakened trees. Nonetheless, the current knowledge …

Gram-stain-negative, pectinolytic bacteria were repeatedly isolated from pear trees
displaying symptoms of bleeding canker in China. Three strains, JS5T, LN1 and QZH3, had …
