Analysis of vector behavior as a tool to predict Xylella fastidiosa patterns of spread
The most likely scenarios for Xylella fastidiosa introduction in Central Europe is through infected ornamental plants, with a successive spillover from gardens and parks to cultivated orchards. G...
Evolutionary change - patterns and processes
The present review considered: (a) the factors that conditioned the early transition from non-life to life; (b) genome structure and complexity in prokaryotes, eukaryotes, and organelles; (c) compa...
GIS Analysis of Land-Use Change in Threatened Landscapes by Xylella fastidiosa
Land-use/land-cover analysis using Geographic Information System (GIS) application can describe and quantify the transformation of the landscape, evaluating the effectiveness of municipal planning ...
Global features of sequences of bacterial chromosomes, plasmids and phages revealed by analysis of oligonucleotide usage patterns
Oligonucleotide frequencies were shown to be conserved signatures for bacterial genomes, however, the underlying constraints have yet not been resolved in detail. In this paper we analyzed oligonuc...
GUS gene expression driven by a citrus promoter in transgenic tobacco and 'Valencia' sweet orange
The objective of this work was the transformation of tobacco and 'Valencia' sweet orange with the GUS gene driven by the citrus phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) gene promoter (CsPP). Transformatio...
Intrinsic bent DNA sites in the chromosomal replication origin of Xylella fastidiosa 9a5c
The features of the nucleotide sequences in both replication and promoter regions have been investigated in many organisms. Intrinsically bent DNA sites associated with transcription have been desc...
On the drought in the Balearic Islands during the hydrological year 2015-2016
During the hydrological year 2015-2016 (September to August) a severe drought affected the Balearic Islands, with substantial consequences (alleviated partially by desalination plants) on water ava...
PAMPs, PRRs, effectors and R-genes associated with citrus-pathogen interactions
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...
Pattern Formation Exhibited by Biofilm Formation within Microfluidic Chambers
This article investigates the dynamics of an important bacterial pathogen, Xylella fastidiosa, within artificial plant xylem. The bacterium is the causative agent of a variety cif diseases that str...
Patterns of Xylella fastidiosa colonization on the precibarium of sharpshooter vectors relative to transmission to plants
Xylella fastidiosa is a bacterial plant pathogen that causes many plant diseases, including Pierce's disease of grapevines. Sharpshooter leafhopper (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae: Cicadellinae) vectors t...
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 ...
RNA-Seq analysis of Citrus reticulata in the early stages of Xylella fastidiosa infection reveals auxin-related genes as a defense response
Citrus variegated chlorosis (CVC), caused by Xylella fastidiosa, is one the most important citrus diseases, and affects all varieties of sweet orange (Citrus sinensis L. Osb). On the other hand, am...
