Assessment of the genetic diversity among strains of Xanthomonas cynarae by randomly amplified polymorphic DNA analysis and development of specific characterized amplified regions for the rapid identification of X-cynarae
The randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) method was used to investigate the genetic diversity in Xanthomonas cynarae, which causes bacterial bract spot disease of artichoke. This RAPD analysis...
Combination of Chromogenic Differential Medium and estA-Specific PCR for Isolation and Detection of Phytopathogenic Xanthomonas spp.
A xanthomonad differential medium (designated Xan-D medium) was developed, on which streaks and colonies of xanthomonads, including 13 species of the genus Xanthomonas, turned wet-shining yellow-gr...
Detection and analysis of the bacterium, Xylella fastidiosa, in glassy-winged sharpshooter, Homalodisca vitripennis, populations in Texas
The glassy-winged sharpshooter, Homalodisca vitripeninis Germar (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae), is a xylophagous insect that is an endemic pest of several economically important plants in Texas. H. vitr...
Detection of Xylella fastidiosa from resistant and susceptible grapevine by tissue sectioning and membrane entrapment immunofluorescence
Immunofluorescence detection was performed by tissue sectioning and membrane entrapment of Xylella fastidiosa from the inoculated hybrid selection F8909-08 (Vitis rupestris A. de Serres x V. arizon...
DETECTION OF XYLELLA FASTIDIOSA IN OLIVE TREES BY MOLECULAR AND SEROLOGICAL METHODS
Xylella fastidiosa has recently been identified in the Apulian province of Lecce (south-eastern Italy) in olive trees affected by a devastating disease denoted Olive Quick Decline Syndrome (OQDS), ...
Development of a real-time PCR-based method for detection of Xylophilus ampelinus
A real-time PCR MGB-probe-based detection method specific to Xylophilus ampelinus, the cause of grapevine bacterial blight, was developed. Used in combination with the DNeasy plant mini kit, the se...
First report of a Proconiine sharpshooter, Anacuerna centrolinea (Hemiptera : Cicadellidae), in chile, with notes on its biology, host plants, and egg parasitoids
The first representative of the leafhopper tribe Proconiini (subfamily Cicadellinae), Anacuerna centrolinea (Melichar) is reported herein from the Tarapaca region in northern Chile. This species wa...
Genome-wide analysis of Xylella fastidiosa: implications for detection and strain relationships
The xylem limited plant pathogenic bacterium Xylella fastidiosa causes economically important diseases on agronomic, horticultural and landscape plants. This review includes the current status of p...
Graft-transmissible agents in oriental persimmons (Diospyros kaki L) in the southeastern USA
Has Xylella fastidiosa "chosen" olive trees to establish in the Mediterranean basin?
Severe decline of olive trees was observed in the Lecce province, Apulia (Italy), and received the name 'complesso del disseccamento rapido dell'olivo' (olive rapid decline complex). Affected plant...
Leaf scorch symptoms are not correlated with bacterial populations during Pierce's disease
Xylella fastidiosa (Xf) is a xylem-limited bacterium that lives as a harmless endophyte in most plant species but is pathogenic in several agriculturally important crops such as coffee, citrus, and...
