Erwinia amylovora, the primary causative agent of blight disease in rosaceous plants, poses a significant threat to agricultural yield worldwide, with limited effective countermeasures. The emergence of sustainable alternative agents such as bacteriophages is a promising solution for fire blight that specifically targets Erwinia. In this study, we isolated pEp_SNUABM_01 and pEa_SNUABM_55 from a South Korean apple orchard soil, analyzed their genomic DNA sequences, and performed a comprehensive comparative analysis of Hena1 in four distinct sections. This study aimed to unveil distinctive features of these phages, with a focus on host recognition, which will provide valuable insights into the evolution and characteristics of Henunavirus bacteriophages that infect plant pathogenic Erwinia spp. By elucidating the distinct genomic features of these phages, particularly in terms of host recognition, this study lays a foundation for their potential application in mitigating the risks associated with fire blight in Rosaceae plants on a global scale.
