Copper-Resistant Kiwifruit Pathogen Prevalence in Jiangxi Province, China

Mingfeng Yan's dataset characterizes Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae (Psa) biovar 3 isolates from kiwifruit in Jiangxi Province. It includes 42 bacterial isolates collected from six production areas, all identified as the hypervirulent biovar 3. The data reveals no copper-sensitive strains, with minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) for copper sulfate ranging from 1.80 to 2.60 mM.

Use Cases

• Assessing copper resistance prevalence in agricultural pathogens based on MIC values.
• Studying the geographic distribution of a specific pathogen biovar based on collection from six production areas.
• Evaluating alternative bactericides for disease control based on in vitro bioassay results mentioned in the description.
• Monitoring the spread of hypervirulent plant pathogens in a major growing region.

Strengths

• Includes 42 bacterial isolates from six distinct production areas.
• Provides specific MIC values for copper sulfate (1.80–2.60 mM) for all isolates.
• All isolates were confirmed through morphological, PCR-based, and multilocus sequence analyses.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to a single province in China.
