Medlar (Mespilus germanica) as a new natural host of Pelamoviroid latenspruni (PLMVd): effects on phenology and fruit quality

Jul 2026 · Journal of plant diseases and protection · Vol 133 · 0 citations · 35 references

TL;DR

It is demonstrated that Pelamoviroid latenspruni can persist latently in medlar while exerting measurable effects on fruit quality, highlighting the importance of considering latent viroid infections in fruit crop management and certification systems, as asymptomatic infections.

First Detailed Record of Jikradia olitoria (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae) in the Swiss Southern Alps and Evaluation of Its Current Potential as a Vector of 16SrV ‐Phytoplasmas

Jikradia olitoria Say is a Nearctic leafhopper that was recently reported in several European countries. Given its role as the vector of phytoplasmas associated with Grapevine Yellows diseases (GYD) in its native range, its presence in European vineyard agroecosystems could represent an important phytosanitary ris...
