In the battle between bacteria and plants, bacteria often use a population density–
dependent regulatory system known as quorum sensing (QS) to coordinate virulence gene …

This review focus on the use of elicitors of plant defense for shelf life extension of the four
main Solanaceae food crops: potatoes (Solanum tuberosum), tomatoes (S. lycopersicum) …

This book covers a wide range of aspects relating to the biology of the most common soft rot
bacteria, currently classified in the genera Pectobacterium and Dickeya within the family …

Several studies have reported effects of the plant phenolic acids cinnamic acid (CA) and
salicylic acid (SA) on the virulence of soft rot enterobacteria. However, the mechanisms …

Development of protection tools targeting Dickeya species is an important issue in the potato
production. Here, we present the identification and the characterization of novel biocontrol …

Management of soft rot Pectobacteriaceae (SRP) is a challenge as there are no control
agents available and no effective resistance present in commercial cultivars. In addition …

Glomerella leaf spot (GLS) caused by Glomerella cingulata is a newly emergent disease that
results in severe defoliation and fruit spots in apple. Currently, there are no effective means …

Pectobacterium spp. are among the most devastating necrotrophs, attacking more than 50%
of angiosperm plant orders. Their virulence strategy is based mainly on the secretion of …

Upon infection, soft rot Pectobacteriaceae (SRP) undergo intense cross-talk with host plants
that govern the responses of both partners at different stages of the interaction. In this …

Soft rot Pectobacteriaceae (SRP) are the causative agents of soft rot and blackleg in potato.
In this study, we investigated if potato seed lots of the same cultivar, but originating from …
