Grapevine susceptibility to Pierce's disease II: Progression of anatomical symptoms
The progression of anatomical symptoms of Pierce's disease in susceptible Vitis vinifera cv. Chardonnay grapevines was studied over a time course following controlled inoculation of Y-shaped, two-s...
Grapevine susceptibility to Pierce's disease I: Relevance of hydraulic architecture
The arrangement of vascular tissue within the nodes of Chardonnay grapevine (Vitis vinifera) shoots was studied as an investigation of potential pathways of infection for the bacterium Xylella-fast...
Grapevine xylem sap enhances biofilm development by Xylella fastidiosa
Xylella fastidiosa is able to form biofilms within xylem vessels of many, economically important crops. Vessel blockage is believed to be a major contributor to disease development caused by this b...
Xylella fastidiosa: an examination of a re-emerging plant pathogen
Xylella fastidiosa is a Gram-negative bacterial plant pathogen with an extremely wide host range. This species has recently been resolved into subspecies that correlate with host specificity. This ...
Xylem structure and connectivity in grapevine (Vitis vinifera) shoots provides a passive mechanism for the spread of bacteria in grape plants
Bacterial leaf scorch occurring in a number of economically important plants is caused by the xylem-limited bacterium Xylella fastidiosa (Xf). In grapevine, Xf systemic infection causes Pierce's di...
Xylem structure of four grape varieties and 12 alternative hosts to the xylem-limited bacterium Xylella fastidious
The bacterium Xylella fastidiosa (Xf), responsible for Pierce's disease (PD) of grapevine, colonizes the xylem conduits of vines, ultimately killing the plant. However, Vitis vinifera grapevine var...
