Two new effective semiselective crystal violet pectate media for isolation of Pectobacterium and Dickeya (2012, background): “It may also be partly responsible for the expanding host range of some of these species, and ⁄or for the worldwide emergence of new taxa (Laurila et al., 2008; Czajkowski et al., 2009; Parkinson et al., 2009; Sławiak et al., 2009; Tsror et al., 2009; Pitman et al., 2010; Toth et al., 2011).”
Control of blackleg and tuber soft rot of potato caused by Pectobacterium and Dickeya species: a review. (2011, background): “However, since 2005, a new genetic clade, probably representing a highly virulent Dickeya species belonging to biovar 3, has been detected in Europe (Tsror et al., 2008; Sławiak et al., 2009).”
Detection of phytopathogens of the genus Dickeya using a PCR primer prediction pipeline for draft bacterial genome sequences (2013, methodology): “is typically carried out using a polyphasic approach, which includes fatty acid profiling, repetitive sequence PCR and phylogenetic identification based on several partial gene sequences, but primarily on the basis of the recA and dnaX gene sequences (Sławiak et al., 2009; Stead et al., 2010).”
Symptoms and yield reduction caused by Dickeya spp. strains isolated from potato and river water in Finland (2010, background): “They thus resemble the Dutch Dickeya strains that are thought to form a new species within the Dickeya genus (Sławiak et al. 2009).”
