Apple replant disease (ARD) is a serious threat to producers of apple trees and fruits worldwide. The ARD etiology is not unraveled and managing options are either economically not applicable or environmentally harmful. Thus, interest is given in biomarkers that allow to indicate ARD situations at e…

Molecular Barcoding Reveals the Genus Streptomyces as Associated Root Endophytes of Apple (Malus domestica) Plants Grown in Soils Affected by Apple Replant Disease. Phytobiomes Journal, 5(2), 177-189. doi:10.1094/pbiomes-07-20-0053-r

Apple replant disease (ARD) occurs when apple is repeatedly planted at the same site, leading to growth reductions and losses in fruit yield and quality. Up to now, the etiology has been poorly understood; however, soil (micro)biota are known to be involved. Because endophytes often colonize plants …
