An international research team has started analyzing the genome of the pathogenic bacterium Xylella fastidiosa, which affects olive and almond trees, among others. The study aims to predict which crops will be affected and understand the bacterium's interaction with the host plant and the plant microbiome. The research is funded by the European Research Council and Horizon Europe 2020, and will focus on developing strategies to prevent and mitigate crop diseases.

CORDOBA, July 6. (EUROPA PRESS) - An international and multidisciplinary research team from the Institute for Sustainable Agriculture (IAS-CSIC), based in Córdoba, the Institute for Sustainable Plant Protection (IPSP) in Italy and the LMU Biocenter in Munich (Germany) have proposed the analysis of a pathogenic bacterium of the olive grove, the Xilella fastidiosa, to combat its effects. According to the Discover Foundation in a note, this microorganism also affects other species of agricultural interest in Europe, such as almond trees and vines, causing them to dry up and die, and the researchers point out that analyzing the genome of this bacterium could help predict which crops will be susceptible to its adverse effects. Xylella fastidiosa is a pathogenic bacterium considered a priority pest in Europe, since there is no effective control method to eradicate it. In Spain it has been detected in wild species and crops in Alicante and the Balearic Islands. Although it is estimated ...
