Characterization of Erwinia pyrifoliae, a Novel Pathogen of Asian Pears
Chapter
Abstract
Necrotic symptoms of aerial parts of European and Asian pear trees (Pyrus communis L. and Pyrus pyrifolia Nakai) are often related to a well known bacterial disease of Maloideae: fire blight caused by E. amylovora (8). Nevertheless, Pseudomonas syringae pv. syringae causes pear blast on blossoms. Enterobacter pyrinus has been isolated in Korea (4) from necrotic leaf spots and shoots.
