Mapping analysis of the Xylella fastidiosa genome.
A cosmid library was made of the 2.7 Mb genome of the Gram-negative plant pathogenic bacterium Xylella fastidiosa and analysed by hybridisation mapping. Clones taken from the library as well as genomic restriction fragments of rarely cutting enzymes were used as probes. The latter served as a backbone for ordering the initial map contigs and thus facilitated gap closure. Also, the co-linearity ...
متن کاملDetection of the Bacterium, Xylella fastidiosa, in Saliva of Glassy-Winged Sharpshooter, Homalodisca vitripennis
Homalodisca vitripennis (Germar) (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae), the glassy-winged sharpshooter, is one of the most important vectors of the bacterium, Xylella fastidiosa subsp. piercei (Xanthomonadales: Xanthomonadaceae) that causes Pierce's Disease in grapevines in California. In the present study we report a new method for studying pathogen transmission or probing behavior of H. vitripennis. When...
متن کاملLiving in two worlds: the plant and insect lifestyles of Xylella fastidiosa.
Diseases caused by Xylella fastidiosa have attained great importance worldwide as the pathogen and its insect vectors have been disseminated. Since this is the first plant pathogenic bacterium for which a complete genome sequence was determined, much progress has been made in understanding the process by which it spreads within the xylem vessels of susceptible plants as well as the traits that ...
متن کاملENDOPHYTIC BACTERIA ASSOCIATED WITH SHARPSHOOTERS, INSECT VECTORS OF XYLELLA FASTIDIOSA SUBSP. PAUCA Principal Investigator:
Xylella fastidiosa (Xf) subsp. Pauca causes citrus variegated chlorosis (CVC) disease in Brazil, resulting in significant production losses in the citrus industry. Xf is mainly transmitted by three species of sharpshooters (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae) in Brazil; Dilobopterus costalimai (Young), Acrogonia citrina Marucci & Cavichioli and Oncometopia facialis (Signoret). We identified bacterial comm...
متن کاملInteraction between Xylella Fastidiosa and Curtobacterium Flaccumfaciens
Xylella fastidiosa (Xf) is a fastidious gram-negative, xylem-limited bacterium that causes diseases in many crops of economic importance, such as grape (Pierce’s disease), almond, peach, coffee, plum and citrus. Xf can infect all known Citrus sinensis cultivars and causes Citrus variegated chlorosis (CVC). One major endophyte isolated from CVC-asymptomatic plants is the bacterium Curtobacterium...
