Comparative genomic analysis of coffee-infecting Xylella fastidiosa strains isolated from Brazil
Strains of Xylella fastidiosa constitute a complex group of bacteria that develop within the xylem of many plant hosts, causing diseases of significant economic importance, such as Pierce's disease...
Genomic comparison of the endophyte Herbaspirillum seropedicae SmR1 and the phytopathogen Herbaspirillum rubrisubalbicans M1 by suppressive subtractive hybridization and partial genome sequencing
Herbaspirillum rubrisubalbicans M1 causes the mottled stripe disease in sugarcane cv. B-4362. Inoculation of this cultivar with Herbaspirillum seropedicae SmR1 does not produce disease symptoms. A ...
Harnessing Host-Vector Microbiome for Sustainable Plant Disease Management of Phloem-Limited Bacteria
Plant health and productivity is strongly influenced by their intimate interaction with deleterious and beneficial organisms, including microbes, and insects. Of the various plant diseases, insect-...
Identification and analysis of seven effector protein families with different adaptive and evolutionary histories in plant-associated members of the Xanthomonadaceae
The Xanthomonadaceae family consists of species of non-pathogenic and pathogenic gamma-proteobacteria that infect different hosts, including humans and plants. In this study, we performed a compara...
Molecular characteristics of a strain (Salento-1) of Xylella fastidiosa isolated in Apulia (Italy) from an olive plant with the quick decline syndrome
DNA-based approaches were used to characterize a strain (Salento-1) of Xylella fastidiosa obtained from an olive plant suffering from the syndrome of quick decline in Apulia (South Italy). Salento-...
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 ...
Ohr plays a central role in bacterial responses against fatty acid hydroperoxides and peroxynitrite
Organic hydroperoxide resistance (Ohr) enzymes are unique Cysbased, lipoyl-dependent peroxidases. Here, we investigated the involvement of Ohr in bacterial responses toward distinct hydroper-oxides...
Plant-bacterium interactions analyzed by proteomics
The evolution of the plant immune response has resulted in a highly effective defense system that is able to resist potential attack by microbial pathogens. The primary immune response is referred ...
Update of the Xylella spp. host plant database
Following a request from the European Commission, EFSA periodically updates the database on the host plants of Xylella spp. While previous editions of the database (2015 and 2016) dealt with the sp...
