Erwinia psidii Rodrigues Neto et al. is a plant-pathogenic bacterium that causes serious damage to eucalyptus, guava and papaya crops in tropical and subtropical conditions (Chai et al., 2017;Coutinho et al., 2011;Rodrigues Neto et al., 1983). In South America, the bacterial pathogen was reported causing dieback on eucalyptus species in Argentina, Uruguay (Coutinho et al., 2011) and Brazil (Arriel et al., 2014). In Brazil, the incidence of eucalyptus bacterial blight on susceptible genotypes can reach 30% of trees in a production field (Borges-Junior et al., 2020). Besides dieback, the pathogen can cause leaf hydrosis (i.e. water-soaking) close to midrib, stem canker and
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
