Aims: The three main aims of the study were the assessment of the genetic relationship
between a deviating Erwinia amylovora strain isolated from Amelanchier sp.(Maloideae) …

Erwinia amylovora is the causative agent of fire blight, a destructive disease of rosaceous
plants. The European population can be divided into several subtypes according to …

Erwinia amylovora, the causal agent of fire blight, carries the common plasmid pEA29 of 29
kb. To screen for occurrence of natural strains without plasmid pEA29, we applied PCR …

All strains of Erwinia amylovora characterized carry a medium-size plasmid of 29 kilobases
(pEA29). We mapped this plasmid with various restriction enzymes, cloned the whole DNA …

Erwinia amylovora is a polyphagous bacterium causing fire blight on apple, pear and over
130 other plant species belonging mainly to the Rosaceae family. Although E. amylovora is …

To determine the diversity of Erwinia amylovora occurring in Poland, 14 strains originated
from 6 species of host plants growing in different geographical regions were characterized …

Recognition of fire blight is dependent on visible symptoms of the disease, in particular
necrosis and sometimes ooze on host plants such as apple and pear. Here, I attempt to …

A total of 73 Erwinia amylovora strains obtained from 13 Maloideae host species and from
Rubus spp., and isolated from different geographic areas, were assessed using RFLP and …

Recent genome analysis of Erwinia amylovora, the causal agent of fire blight disease on
Rosaceae, has shown that the chromosome is highly conserved among strains and that …

A collection of 127 strains of Erwinia amylovora, the causative agent of fire blight, was tested
by PCR amplification of a fragment of the plasmid pEA29. A variability in the length of the …
