Xylella fastidiosa is a xylem-limited, gram-negative bacterium that causes Pierce's disease of grapevine. Here, we describe the construction of four vectors that facilitate the insertion of genes i...

Xylella fastidiosa is a Gram-negative, xylem-inhabiting, plant-pathogenic bacterium responsible for several important diseases including Pierce's disease (PD) of grapevines. The bacteria form biofi...

The transformation efficiency of Xylella fastidiosa can be increased by interfering with restriction by the strain-specific type II system encoded by the PD1607 and PD1608 genes. Here, we report re...

Xylella fastidiosa Temecula1 is the causative agent of Pierce's disease of grapevine, which is spread by xylem-feeding insects. An important feature of the infection cycle is the ability of X. fast...
