Item The influence of UV protectants of the bacteriophage ability to suppress fire blight development in the plants tissues [Articol](Editura USM, 2025) Samoilova, AnnaBacteriophages are considered to play an important role in the fire blight management as the natural habitants of the pome orchards and highly specific bacterial parasites. The main problem of the phage therapy application against fire blight is the necessity to suppress the pathogen development in the phyllosphere were they are easily inactivated by unfavorable environmental factors such as changes of temperature, pH and sunlight irradiation. UV irradiation is critical for bacteriophages and serious efforts are being made for to find effective and economically acceptable UV protectants of the bacterial viruses’ particles. In this study it has been shown that casein, soy peptone and carrot juice protected bacteriophages from the UV irradiation damage and phages were able to suppress development of the fire blight causative agent in plant tissues.Item Impact of bacteriophages on the fire blight disease prevalence on qiunce(CEP USM, 2024) Samoilova, AnnaThe effect of the phage therapy in the fire blight disease control was studied at the quince experimental plot and in the quince orchard. Quince plants at the experimental plot were treated with Erwinia amylovora bacteriophages over the last ten vegetation seasons while quince trees at the orchard were treated with preparations recommended for the fire blight control. It was found out that in the conditions, favorable for the fire blight causative agent development, the disease prevalence in the orchard where the phage therapy was not used was significantly higher than on the quince trees treated with bacteriophages.
