A zinc, copper and citric acid biocomplex shows promise for control of Xylella fastidiosa subsp pauca in olive trees in Apulia region (southern Italy)

The bacterium Xylella fastidiosa subsp. pauca is associated with the “olive quick decline syndrome” in the Apulia region of southern Italy. To investigate control of this phytopathogen, a compound ...

Colony morphology of Xylella fastidiosa almond leaf scorch strains

Xylella fastidiosa is the causal agent of almond leaf scorch disease (ALSD), which is currently reemerging in California as a potential threat to almond (Prunus dulcis) production. We previously re...

Detection of a Single-Copy Plasmid, pXFSL21, in Xylella fastidiosa Strain Stag's Leap with Two Toxin-Antitoxin Systems Using Next-Generation Sequencing

Plasmids are important genetic elements contributing to bacterial evolution and environmental adaptation. Xylella fastidiosa is a nutritionally fastidious Gram-negative bacterium causing economical...

Grapevine rootstock effects on scion sap phenolic levels, resistance to Xylella fastidiosa infection, and progression of Pierce's disease

The xylem-limited bacterium Xylella fastidiosa (Xf) causes Pierce's disease (PD), an important disease of grapevine, Vitis vinifera L. Grapevine rootstocks were developed to provide increased resis...

Morphological evidence for phages in Xylella fastidiosa

Presumptive phage particles associated with Xylella fastidiosa strain Temecula-1 grown in PW broth were observed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) in ultrathin sections of bacterial cell-co...

Origins of the Xylella fastidiosa Prophage-Like Regions and Their Impact in Genome Differentiation

Xylella fastidiosa is a Gram negative plant pathogen causing many economically important diseases, and analyses of completely sequenced X. fastidiosa genome strains allowed the identification of ma...

Winter curing of Prunus dulcis cv 'Butte,' P. webbii and their interspecific hybrid in response to Xylella fastidiosa infections

Clonal replicates of Prunus dulcis cv 'Butte,' P. webbii and their interspecific hybrid P 63-61 were inoculated with Xylella fastidiosa strain M23 and evaluated for almond leaf scorch disease and s...
