A zinc, copper and citric acid biocomplex shows promise for control of Xylella fastidiosa subsp pauca in olive trees in Apulia region (southern Italy)
The bacterium Xylella fastidiosa subsp. pauca is associated with the “olive quick decline syndrome” in the Apulia region of southern Italy. To investigate control of this phytopathogen, a compound ...
BREEDING, GENETIC AND GENOMIC OF CITRUS FOR DISEASE RESISTANCE
Although the citriculture is one of the most important economic activities in Brazil, it is based on a small number of varieties. This fact has contributed for the vulnerability of the culture rega...
Comparative proteome analysis of Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris in the interaction with the susceptible and the resistant cultivars of Brassica oleracea
Black rot of cruciferous plants, caused by Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris, causes severe losses in agriculture around the world. This disease affects several cultures, including cabbage and ...
Comparison of protocols for the extraction of genomic DNA from Sharpshooters (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae) for the detection of Xylella fastidiosa
The bacterium Xylella fastidiosa, the causal agent of citrus variegated chlorosis (CVC), is dependent on vector insects for its spread and infection of citrus hosts. The insects, leafhoppers (Hemip...
Identification of new protein-protein interactions involving the products of the chromosome- and plasmid-encoded type IV secretion loci of the phytopathogen Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. citri
The recently sequenced genome of the bacterial plant pathogen Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. citri contains two virB gene clusters, one on the chromosome and one on a 64-kb plasmid, each of which codes...
Metabolic alterations in the nymphal instars of Diaphorina citri induced by Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus, the putative pathogen of huanglongbing
Currently, huanglongbing is the most damaging disease of citrus causing huge economic losses. The disease is caused by the Gram- negative bacterium Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus (CLas). The pat...
New protein-protein interactions identified for the regulatory and structural components and substrates of the type III secretion system of the phytopathogen Xanthomonas axonopodis pathovar citri
We have initiated a project to identify protein-protein interactions involved in the pathogenicity of the bacterial plant pathogen Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. citri. Using a yeast two-hybrid system ...
Spectroscopic Characterization of the Exopolysaccharide of Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. citri in Cu2+ Resistance Mechanism
We analyzed the role of exopolysaccharide in the Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. citri (Xac) Cu2+ resistance mechanism by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and nuc...
The filamentous phage XacF1 causes loss of virulence in Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. citri, the causative agent of citrus canker disease
In this study, filamentous phage XacF1, which can infect Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. citri (Xac) strains, was isolated and characterized. Electron microscopy showed that XacF1 is a member of the fam...
