Biological traits of Xylella fastidiosa strains from grapes and almonds
Xylella fastidiosa is a xylem-limited bacterium that causes various diseases, among them Pierce's disease of grapevine (PD) and almond leaf scorch (ALS). PD and ALS have long been considered to be ...
Cell-cell signaling controls Xylella fastidiosa interactions with both insects and plants
Xylella fastidiosa, which causes Pierce's disease of grapevine and other important plant diseases, is a xylem-limited bacterium that depends on insect vectors for transmission. Although many studie...
Factors Affecting the Initial Adhesion and Retention of the Plant Pathogen Xylella fastidiosa in the Foregut of an Insect Vector
Vector transmission of bacterial plant pathogens involves three steps: pathogen acquisition from an infected host, retention within the vector, and inoculation of cells into susceptible tissue of a...
Stylet penetration behaviors of Graphocephala atropunctata (Signoret) (Hemiptera, Cicadellidae): EPG waveform characterization and quantification
We analyzed the probing (stylet penetration) behaviors of the sharpshooter leafhopper Graphocephala atropunctata (Signoret) on grape with an alternating current (AC) electrical penetration graph (E...
Use of a green fluorescent strain for analysis of Xyella fastidiosa colonization of Vitis vinifera
Xylella fastidiosa causes Pierce's disease of grapevine as well as several other major agricultural diseases but is a benign endophyte in most host plants. X. fastidiosa colonizes the xylem vessels...
