Time-Course Gene Expression of ‘Candidatus Liberibacter solanacearum’, Prophage, and Wolbachia Genes in Bactericera cockerelli from Ingestion to in Planta Transmission

Liberibacter “Liberibacter solanacearum”
Abstract
Psyllids are vectors of fastidious plant pathogenic ‘Candidatus Liberibacter’ species that infect both the psyllid vector and plant host. Understanding the molecular and cellular basis of ‘Ca. Liberibacter’ interactions with the psyllid host will aid in identification of effectors involved in invasion and multiplication and facilitate transmission to the host plant. The differential expression of previously identified genes/loci with predicted involvement in tomato host–plant– ‘Ca. L. solanacear

Differential expression of “Candidatus Liberibacter solanacearum” genes and prophage loci in different life stages of potato psyllid

Liberibacter “Liberibacter solanacearum”
Abstract
AbstractPsyllid species, including the potato psyllid (PoP) Bactericera cockerelli (Sulc) (Triozidae) serve as host and vector of “Candidatus Liberibacter spp.” (“Ca. Liberibacter”), which also infects diverse plant hosts, including citrus and tomato. Psyllid transmission of “Ca. Liberibacter” is circulative and propagative. The time of “Ca. Liberibacter” acquisition and therefore vector life stage most competent for bacterial transmission varies by pathosystems. Here, the potato psyllid-“Ca. Li

Colonization and Intrusive Invasion of Potato Psyllid by ‘Candidatus Liberibacter solanacearum’

“Liberibacter solanacearum”
Abstract
Previous studies have shown that the fastidious bacterial plant pathogen ‘Candidatus Liberibacter solanacearum’ (CLso) is transmitted circulatively and propagatively by the potato psyllid (PoP) Bactericera cockerelli. In this study, the temporal and spatial interrelationships between CLso PoP were investigated by scanning electron microscopy of the digestive system of PoP immature and adult instars and salivary glands of adults post CLso ingestion. CLso biofilms were not detectable on the outer
