TL;DR: Leaves from gold kiwifruit plants, Actinidia chinensis, with dark brown angular spots and flowers that were brown and wilted, first yielded non-fluorescent bacterial colonies following isolation that were identified by diagnostic polymerase chain reaction (PCR) as Pseudomonas syringae p.s. pv.

TL;DR: This finding supports the view that the selection for large size in apple fruit was initiated prior to apple domestication, likely by large mammals, before being subsequently strengthened by humans, and helps to explain why signatures of genetic bottlenecks and selective sweeps are normally weaker in perennial crops than in annual crops.

Candidate effector gene identification in the ascomycete fungal phytopathogen Venturia inaequalis by expressed sequence tag analysis.
Joanna K. Bowen,Carl H. Mesarich,Carl H. Mesarich,Jonathan Rees-George,Wei Cui,Anna. Fitzgerald,Anna. Fitzgerald,Joe Win,Joe Win,Kim M. Plummer,Kim M. Plummer,Mathew D. Templeton +11 more
TL;DR: Sixteen new candidate effector genes were identified from V. inaequalis, which conformed to most of the protein structural characteristics expected of fungal effectors and showed significant levels of transcriptional up-regulation during in planta growth.

Correction: Genomic Analysis of the Kiwifruit Pathogen pv. Provides Insight into the Origins of an Emergent Plant Disease.

TL;DR: It is shown that Psa is comprised of distinct clades exhibiting negligible within-clade diversity, consistent with disease arising by independent samplings from a source population, and the importance of the source population as a reservoir of new disease.

Reclassification of an isolate of Guignardia citricarpa from New Zealand as Guignardia mangiferae by sequence analysis
TL;DR: Sequence analysis of the internal transcribed spacer region of Guignardia citricarpa showed that this isolate was 99% identical to the ITS region of G. mangiferae, a closely related saprotroph.
