Plant-derived, nodule-specific cysteine rich peptides inhibit growth and psyllid acquisition of 'Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus', the citrus Huanglongbing bacterium

S. A. Higgins, D. O. Igwe, J. S. Ramsey, S. L. DeBlasio, M. Pitino, R. Niedz, R. G. Shatters, L. Fleites, M. L. Heck

The paper identifies plant-derived NCR peptides that inhibit CLas growth in citrus leaves and reduce its acquisition by the psyllid vector.

Direct DNA sequencing of "Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus" from Diaphorina citri, the Asian citrus psyllid, and its implications for citrus greening disease management

S. A. Higgins, M. Mann, M. L. Heck

This paper develops a DNA sequencing protocol to directly sequence CLas and the microbiome from D. citri, revealing genetic variants and implications for citrus greening disease management.

The biogeography of Streptomyces in New Zealand enabled by high-throughput sequencing of genus-specific rpoB amplicons

S. A. Higgins, K. Panke-Buisse, D. H. Buckley

This study examines Streptomyces biogeography in New Zealand soils using rpoB amplicon sequencing, finding that soil pH and plant community richness influence community structure.

Phylogenomics reveals dynamic evolution of fungal nitric oxide reductases and their relationship to secondary metabolism

S. A. Higgins, C. W. Schadt, P. B. Matheny, F. E. Löffler

The paper examines the distribution and evolution of p450nor genes in fungal genomes, finding they are more prevalent and variable than denitrification genes and linked to secondary metabolism.
