A Conjugative 38 kB Plasmid Is Present in Multiple Subspecies of Xylella fastidiosa
A similar to 38kB plasmid (pXF-RIV5) was present in the Riv5 strain of Xylella fastidiosa subsp. multiplex isolated from ornamental plum in southern California. The complete nucleotide sequence of ...
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...
Conjugative Plasmid Transfer in Xylella fastidiosa Is Dependent on tra and trb Operon Functions
The insect-transmitted plant pathogen Xylella fastidiosa is capable of efficient horizontal gene transfer (HGT) and recombination. Natural transformation occurs at high rates in X. fastidiosa, but ...
Detection of Xylella fastidiosa from resistant and susceptible grapevine by tissue sectioning and membrane entrapment immunofluorescence
Immunofluorescence detection was performed by tissue sectioning and membrane entrapment of Xylella fastidiosa from the inoculated hybrid selection F8909-08 (Vitis rupestris A. de Serres x V. arizon...
Detection of Xylella fastidiosa in potential insect vectors by immunomagnetic separation and nested polymerase chain reaction
A sensitive and specific assay for detecting Xylella fastidiosa in potential insect vectors was developed. This assay involves immunomagnetic separation of the bacteria from the insect, followed by...
Differential Susceptibility of Prunus Germplasm (Subgenus Amygdalus) to a California Isolate of Xylella fastidiosa
Seedling peach (Prunus persica Batsch) and clonal peach-almond hybrids are popular rootstock choices for commercial almond growers in California. In this study, clonal replicates of peach and almon...
Draft sequencing and comparative genomics of Xylella fastidiosa strains reveal novel biological insights
Draft sequencing is a rapid and efficient method for determining the near-complete sequence of microbial genomes. Here we report a comparative analysis of one complete and two draft genome sequence...
Genetic diversity of Pierce's disease strains and other pathotypes of Xylella fastidiosa
Strains of Xylella fastidiosa isolated from grape, almond, maple, and oleander were characterized by enterobacterial repetitive intergenic consensus sequence-, repetitive extragenic palindromic ele...
Genetic structure and biology of Xylella fastidiosa strains causing disease in citrus and coffee in Brazil
Xylella fastidiosa is a vector-borne, plant-pathogenic bacterium that causes disease in citrus (citrus variegated chlorosis [CVC]) and coffee (coffee leaf scorch [CLS]) plants in Brazil. CVC and CL...
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...
Identification of three potential insect vectors of Xylella fastidiosa in southern Italy
In order to identify potential vectors of Xylella fastidiosa in olive orchards in Puglia (southern Italy), Hemiptera insects were collected from October to December, 2013, in olive orchards with hi...
Interactive effects of water stress and xylem-limited bacterial infection on the water relations of a host vine
Xylella fastidiosa, a xylem-limited bacterial pathogen that causes bacterial leaf scorch in its hosts, has a diverse and extensive host range among plant species worldwide. Previous work has shown ...
