This study applies real-time PCR to bulk sample testing for detecting Diaporthe destruens-infected sweet potato seedlings, determining optimal sample sizes based on detection probability.

This study evaluates a real-time PCR method for detecting Diaporthe destruens in sweet potatoes, finding it effective with AUC values between 0.704 and 0.920.

This paper develops a method to detect Diaphorina citri-derived environmental DNA in host plants to trace psyllid contact and improve citrus greening disease monitoring.

The paper sequences and compares 10 genomes of Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae biovar 1, revealing genetic diversity and differences in phaseolotoxin production.

The paper reports draft genome sequences of seven Dickeya dadantii strains isolated from Japanese fruit trees showing quick decline symptoms.
