Analysis of the genome-wide variations among multiple strains of the plant pathogenic bacterium Xylella fastidiosa

The Gram-negative, xylem-limited phytopathogenic bacterium Xylella fastidiosa is responsible for causing economically important diseases in grapevine, citrus and many other plant species. Despite i...

Comparative analysis of ESTs involved in grape responses to Xylella fastidiosa infection

The gram-negative bacterium Xylella fastidiosa (Xf) is the causal agent of Pierce's disease (PD) in grape as well as diseases of many fruit and ornamental plants. The current molecular breeding eff...

Genome-wide analysis of Xylella fastidiosa: implications for detection and strain relationships

The xylem limited plant pathogenic bacterium Xylella fastidiosa causes economically important diseases on agronomic, horticultural and landscape plants. This review includes the current status of p...

Harmonized protocol for monitoring and detection of Xylella fastidiosa in its host plants and its vectors (PROMODE)

Report of the Euphresco project 2015-F-146 'Harmonized protocol for monitoring and detection of Xylella fastidiosa in its host plants and its vectors (PROMODE)'. The PROMODE project workplan was de...

Targeted Mutations in Xylella fastidiosa Affect Acquisition and Retention by the Glassy-Winged Sharpshooter, Homalodisca vitripennis (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae)

Xylella fastidiosa (Wells) is a xylem-limited bacterium that causes Pierce's disease of grapevines. The bacterium is transmitted by insect vectors such as the glassy-winged sharpshooter (GWSS), H...

The chemotaxis regulator pilG of Xylella fastidiosa is required for virulence in Vitis vinifera grapevines

Type IV pili of X. fastidiosa are regulated by pilG, a response regulator protein putatively involved in chemotaxis-like operon sensing stimuli through signal transduction pathways. To elucidate th...

Transcriptional regulation of the grape cytochrome P450 monooxygenase gene CYP736B expression in response to Xylella fastidiosa infection

Plant cytochrome P450 monooxygenases (CYP) mediate synthesis and metabolism of many physiologically important primary and secondary compounds that are related to plant defense against a range of pa...

Xylella fastidiosa population dynamics in grapevine genotypes differing in susceptibility to Pierce's disease

The xylem-limited bacterium Xylella fastidiosa is the causal agent of Pierce's disease (PD) in grapevines, for which breeding resistant cultivars will be a long-term management strategy that involv...
