Xylella fastidiosa is the causal agent of citrus variegated chlorosis and Pierce's disease which are the major threat to the citrus and wine industries. The most accepted hypothesis for Xf diseases...

Xylella fastidiosa causes citrus variegated chlorosis (CVC), a destructive disease of citrus. Xylella fastidiosa forms a biofilm inside plants and insect vectors. Biofilms are complex structures in...

Based on the genetic analysis of the phytopathogen Xylella fastidiosa genome, five media with defined composition were developed and the growth abilities of this fastidious prokaryote were evaluate...

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...

Recent application of molecular-based technologies has considerably advanced our understanding of complex processes in plant-pathogen interactions and their key components such as PAMPs, PRRs, effe...

Xylella fastidiosa is a gram-negative bacterium that causes serious diseases in economically important crops, including grapevine, coffee, and citrus fruits. X. fastidiosa colonizes the xylem vesse...

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 role of bacterial surface components in combination with bacterial functional signals in the process of biofilm formation has been increasingly studied in recent years. Plants support a diverse...
