Evaluation of Brassica carinata Accessions for Resistance to Black Rot (Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris)

Identification of Sources of Resistance to Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris in Brassica napus Crops

Lema, M., Soengas, P., Velasco, P., Francisco, M., and Cartea, M. E. 2011. Identification of sources of resistance to Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris in Brassica napus crops. Plant Dis. 95:292-297. Black rot, caused by Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris, is one of the most important diseases affecting Brassica crops worldwide. Nine races have been differentiated in X. campestris pv. ca...

Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris (cause of black rot of crucifers) in the genomic era is still a worldwide threat to brassica crops.

BACKGROUND Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris (Xcc) (Pammel) Dowson is a Gram-negative bacterium that causes black rot, the most important disease of vegetable brassica crops worldwide. Intensive molecular investigation of Xcc is gaining momentum and several whole genome sequences are available. TAXONOMY Bacteria; Phylum Proteobacteria; Class Gammaproteobacteria; Order Xanthomonadales; Fam...

Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris race 1 is the main causal agent of black rot of Brassicas in Southern Mozambique

Biological role of xanthomonadin pigments in Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris.

Previous studies have indicated that the yellow pigments (xanthomonadins) produced by phytopathogenic Xanthomonas bacteria are unimportant during pathogenesis but may be important for protection against photobiological damage. We used a Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris parent strain, single-site transposon insertion mutant strains, and chromosomally restored mutant strains to define the bi...

Genome Sequence of Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris Strain Xca5

An annotated high-quality draft genome sequence for Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris race 1 strain Xca5 (originally described as X. campestris pv. armoraciae), the causal agent of black rot on Brassicaceae plants, has been determined. This genome sequence is a valuable resource for comparative genomics within the campestris pathovar.
