16S-23S RDNA: Polymorphisms and their use for detection and identification of Xylella fastidiosa strains
Strains of Xylella fastidiosa from several hosts (coffee, citrus, grape, almond, oleander, peach, plum, etc.) were characterized by analyzing the content of the nucleotide sequences of 16S- 23S rDN...
Comparative analyses of the complete genome sequences of Pierce's disease and citrus variegated chlorosis strains of Xylella fastidiosa
Xylella fastidiosa is a xylem-dwelling, insect-transmitted, gamma-proteobacterium that causes diseases in many plants, including grapevine, citrus, periwinkle, almond, oleander, and coffee. X. fast...
Comparative genomic characterization of citrus-associated Xylella fastidiosa strains
The xylem-inhabiting bacterium Xylella fastidiosa (Xf) is the causal agent of Pierce's disease (PD) in vineyards and citrus variegated chlorosis (CVC) in orange trees. Both of these economically-de...
DETECTION OF XYLELLA FASTIDIOSA IN OLIVE TREES BY MOLECULAR AND SEROLOGICAL METHODS
Xylella fastidiosa has recently been identified in the Apulian province of Lecce (south-eastern Italy) in olive trees affected by a devastating disease denoted Olive Quick Decline Syndrome (OQDS), ...
Differentiation of "Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus" Isolates by Variable-Number Tandem-Repeat Analysis
Four highly polymorphic simple sequence repeat (SSR) loci were selected and used to differentiate 84 Japanese isolates of "Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus." The Nei's measure of genetic diversity...
Evaluation of Xylella fastidiosa genetic diversity by fAFLP markers
The first phytopathogenic bacterium with its DNA entirely sequenced is being detected and isolated from different host plants in several geographic regions. Although it causes diseases in cultures ...
From Nucleotides to Satellite Imagery: Approaches to Identify and Manage the Invasive Pathogen Xylella fastidiosa and Its Insect Vectors in Europe
Biological invasions represent some of the most severe threats to local communities and ecosystems. Among invasive species, the vector-borne pathogen Xylella fastidiosa is responsible for a wide ...
GENETIC VARIATION OF XYLELLA FASTIDIOSA ASSOCIATED WITH GRAPEVINES IN TWO MAJOR VITICULTURAL REGIONS IN THE UNITED STATES: CALIFORNIA AND TEXAS
Xylella fastidiosa (Xf) causes diseases in many agricultural, horticultural, and landscape crops, including Pierce's disease (PD) of grapevines. PD has been a serious problem in scattered table, wi...
Hidden Markov models applied to a subsequence of the Xylella fastidiosa genome
Dependencies in DNA sequences are frequently modeled using Markov models. However, Markov chains cannot account for heterogeneity that may be present in different regions of the same DNA sequence. ...
Isolation and pathogenicity of Xylella fastidiosa from grapevine and almond in Iran
Symptoms similar to those of Pierce's disease (PD) of grapevine and leaf scorch of almond were observed in vineyards and almond orchards in several provinces of Iran. Grafting of scions from sympto...
New Coffee Plant-Infecting Xylella fastidiosa Variants Derived via Homologous Recombination
Xylella fastidiosa is a xylem-limited phytopathogenic bacterium endemic to the Americas that has recently emerged in Asia and Europe. Although this bacterium is classified as a quarantine organism ...
Population Genomic Analysis of a Bacterial Plant Pathogen: Novel Insight into the Origin of Pierce's Disease of Grapevine in the US
Invasive diseases present an increasing problem worldwide; however, genomic techniques are now available to investigate the timing and geographical origin of such introductions. We employed genomic...
