A paratransgenic strategy to block transmission of Xylella fastidiosa from the glassy-winged sharpshooter Homalodisca vitripennis
Arthropod-borne diseases remain a leading cause of human morbidity and mortality and exact an enormous toll on global agriculture. The practice of insecticide-based control is fraught with issues o...
DETECTION AND IDENTIFICATION OF PHYTOPATHOGENIC XANTHOMONAS STRAINS BY AMPLIFICATION OF DNA-SEQUENCES RELATED TO THE HRP GENES OF XANTHOMONAS-CAMPESTRIS PV VESICATORIA
Three pairs of oligonucleotide primers specific for different regions of the hrp gene (hypersensitive reaction and pathogenicity) cluster of Xanthomonas campestris pv. vesicatoria were designed and...
Polysaccharide Compositions of Intervessel Pit Membranes Contribute to Pierce's Disease Resistance of Grapevines
Symptom development of Pierce's disease (PD) in grapevine (Vitis vinifera) depends largely on the ability of the bacterium Xylella fastidiosa to use cell wall-degrading enzymes (CWDEs) to break up ...
Ribosome Display of Combinatorial Antibody Libraries Derived from Mice Immunized with Heat-Killed Xylella fastidiosa and the Selection of MopB-Specific Single-Chain Antibodies
Pierce's disease is a devastating lethal disease of Vitus vinifera grapevines caused by the bacterium Xylella fastidiosa. There is no cure for Pierce's disease, and control is achieved predominantl...
