“…However, the differences of LsoA and LsoB titer in the gut of adult psyllids could be the result of differences of bacterial pathogenicity or the elicited psyllid immune responses. Indeed, we have previously shown that LsoB is more pathogenic than LsoA [19][20][21] . Similarly, the vector immune response could be one factor explaining the different Lso accumulation.…”

“…Importantly, distinct acquisition or transmission could exist between the Lso haplotypes A and B. Indeed, results from our previous studies indicate that there are differences in pathogenicity between these two haplotypes in association with their host plants and insect vector, in all cases LsoB was found to be more pathogenic 19 – 21 .…”

Acquisition and transmission of two 'Candidatus Liberibacter solanacearum' haplotypes by the tomato psyllid Bactericera cockerelli Xiao-tian tang 1 , Michael Longnecker 2 & cecilia tamborindeguy 1* 'Candidatus Liberibacter solanacearum' (Lso) is a pathogen of solanaceous crops. two haplotypes of Lso (LsoA and LsoB) are present in north America; both are transmitted by the tomato psyllid, Bactericera cockerelli (Šulc), in a circulative and propagative manner and cause damaging plant diseases (e.g. Zebra chip in potatoes). in this study, we investigated the acquisition and transmission of LsoA or LsoB by the tomato psyllid. We quantified the titer of Lso haplotype A and B in adult psyllid guts after several acquisition access periods (AAps). We also performed sequential inoculation of tomato plants by adult psyllids following a 7-day AAP and compared the transmission of each Lso haplotype. the results indicated that LsoB population increased faster in the psyllid gut than LsoA. Further, LsoB population plateaued after 12 days, while LsoA population increased slowly during the 16 day-period evaluated. Additionally, LsoB had a shorter latent period and higher transmission rate than LsoA following a 7 day-AAP: LsoB was first transmitted by the adult psyllids between 17 and 21 days following the beginning of the AAP, while LsoA was first transmitted between 21 and 25 days after the beginning of the AAP. Overall, our data suggest that the two Lso haplotypes have distinct acquisition and transmission rates. the information provided in this study will improve our understanding of the biology of Lso acquisition and transmission as well as its relationship with the tomato psyllid at the gut interface.

“…The presence of Lso in B. cockerelli was determined by Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR). The details of the analysis are presented in Munyaneza et al [4], Wenninger et al [21], Workneh et al [17], and Harrison et al [28]. The percentage of adult B. cockerelli testing positive for Lso was determined as the ratio of the number of B. cockerelli positive for Lso to the total number of collected B. cockerelli during each week of the monitoring period of each year.…”

Potato psyllid (Bactericera cockerelli) is one of the most important pests in potatoes (Solanum tuberosum L.) due to its feeding behavior and the transmission of a bacterium (Candidatus Liberibacter solanacearum) that causes zebra chip disease, altering the quality of the potato tuber and the fried potato chip or french fry. This pest is thus a threat to the chip potato industry and often requires preventive measures including the use of costly insecticides. The objectives of this research were to monitor the variation in B. cockerelli adult abundance and to evaluate the risk of zebra chip disease in northwestern New Mexico, USA. Yellow sticky traps were used to collect the pest at the Agricultural Experiment Station at Farmington, NM and in nearby commercial fields at the Navajo Agricultural Products Industry (NAPI) and Navajo Mesa Farms during the 2017–2019 period. The collected adult pests were analyzed at Texas A & M University for the presence of Candidatus L. solanacearum (Lso). The results showed field infestation by B. cockerelli in early June and that the population peaked during the second half of July and decreased as the potato growing season progressed. However, a second less important peak of the pest was revealed around mid- to late-August, depending on the growing season and field. While the B. cockerelli population increased linearly with average air temperature, it showed strong third order polynomial relationships with the accumulated thermal units and the Julian days. The test of B. cockerelli for the Lso infection revealed a low incidence of the pathogen varying from 0.22% to 6.25% and the infected adult B. cockerelli were collected during the population peak period. The results of this study may be helpful to potato growers in pest management decision-making and control. However, more study is needed to evaluate zebra chip disease in terms of its prevention and economic impact, and to develop economic thresholds and pest management programs for northwestern New Mexico and neighboring regions.

“…Thus far, substantial genomic analysis has underscored the influence of the TPP-Lso complex in potato and tomato genotypes [ 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 ], and constitutive and elicited phytohormones, such as jasmonic acid and salicylic acid have been reported to play crucial roles in the host plants by deploying defensive signaling pathways involved in the host resistance against insect herbivores and pathogens [ 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 ]. For instance, volatile metabolites, such as monoterpenes play a role in response to insect herbivory by attracting carnivorous predators as an indirect plant defensive mechanism [ 10 , 11 , 12 ].…”

The bacterial pathogen ‘Candidatus Liberibacter solanacearum’ (Lso) is transmitted by the tomato potato psyllid (TPP), Bactericera cockerelli, to solanaceous crops. In the present study, the changes in metabolic profiles of insect-susceptible (cv CastleMart) and resistant (RIL LA3952) tomato plants in response to TPP vectoring Lso or not, were examined after 48 h post infestation. Non-volatile and volatile metabolites were identified and quantified using headspace solid-phase microextraction equipped with a gas chromatograph-mass spectrometry (HS-SPME/GC-MS) and ultra-high pressure liquid chromatography coupled to electrospray quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UPLC/ESI-HR-QTOFMS), respectively. Partial least squares-discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) was used to define the major uncorrelated metabolite components assuming the treatments as the correlated predictors. Metabolic changes in various classes of metabolites, including volatiles, hormones, and phenolics, were observed in resistant and susceptible plants in response to the insects carrying the pathogen or not. The results suggest the involvement of differentially regulated and, in some cases, implicates antagonistic metabolites in plant defensive signaling. Upon validation, the identified metabolites could be used as markers to screen and select breeding lines with enhanced resistance to reduce economic losses due to the TPP-Lso vector-pathogen complex in Solanaceous crops.
