Detection and characterization of protease secreted by the plant pathogen Xylella fastidiosa

Xylella fastidiosa is a pathogenic bacterium found in several plants. These bacteria secrete extracellular proteases into the culture broth as visualized in sodium-dodecytsulfate potyacrytamide act...

Expression of putative pathogenicity-related genes in Xylella fastidiosa grown at low and high cell density conditions in vitro

Xylella fastidiosa is the causal agent of economically important plant diseases, including citrus variegated chlorosis and Pierce's disease. Hitherto, there has been no information on the molecular...

Rooting of healthy and Cvc-affected 'Valencia' sweet orange stem cuttings, through the use of plant regulators

Citrus variegated chlorosis (CVC) is a disease caused by Xylella fastidiosa. Using different concentrations of plant regulators, such as auxins (indole-3-butyric acid) and gibberellic acid biosynth...

The DSF Family of Cell-Cell Signals: An Expanding Class of Bacterial Virulence Regulators

Many pathogenic bacteria use cell-cell signaling systems involving the synthesis and perception of diffusible signal molecules to control virulence as a response to cell density or confinement to n...

Xylella genomics and bacterial pathogenicity to plants

Xylella fastidiosa, a pathogen of citrus, is the first plant pathogenic bacterium for which the complete genome sequence has been published. Inspection of the sequence reveals high relatedness to m...
