Postharvest Development of ‘<i>Candidatus</i> Liberibacter solanacearum’ in Late-Season Infected Potato Tubers under Commercial Storage Conditions
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Zebra chip (ZC) disease of potato is associated with the putative pathogen 'Candidatus Liberibacter solanacearum', which is transmitted by the potato psyllid Bactericera cockerelli (Hem., Triozidae). The present study was initiated to investigate 'Ca. L. solanacearum' development during and following typical commercial storage practices. Using bacteriliferous psyllids, Russet Norkotah potato tubers were infested in field cages 14, 10, and 4 days before harvest. Changes in 'Ca. L. solanacearum' detection rate, 'Ca. L. solanacearum' titer, and concentrations of phenolic compounds were documented throughout storage. 'Ca. L. solanacearum' titer continued to increase during storage. Although significant increases in the frequency of 'Ca. L. solanacearum' detection were observed in all infestation treatments, the impact of 'Ca. L. solanacearum' infection on tuber quality remained comparatively low in plants infected 4 days before harvest, because the majority of the tubers remained asymptomatic. Minimizing storage and retail chain movement durations would help to limit 'Ca. L. solanacearum' impact on tuber quality in tubers infected 14 and 10 days before harvest. This study also demonstrated that 'Ca. L. solanacearum' can relocate from a newly infected leaf to a tuber in as little as 4 days. Psyllid management is recommended until at least 4 days before green harvest, when psyllid pressure is high in fields in which tubers are destined for commercial storage.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
