Abstract:Erwinia mallotivora is a Gram-negative bacterium that causes the papaya dieback disease in Malaysia. Currently, no effective disease control method is documented. In this regard, the adoption of harpin proteins in promoting plant defense mechanisms has been reported to be a promising control method for this disease. This study used, two recombinant harpin proteins, Hrp I and Hrp II, to control the disease in the glasshouse and field conditions. The results of foliar application in the glasshouse showed protect… Show more
