Heritability of Resistance and Associations of Leaf, Pod, and Seed Reactions to Xanthomonas campestris pv. Phaseoli (DYE) in Common Beans

Genetic Diversity and Pathogenic Variation of Common Blight Bacteria (Xanthomonas campestris pv. phaseoli and X. campestris pv. phaseoli var. fuscans) Suggests Pathogen Coevolution with the Common Bean.

ABSTRACT Common bacterial blight (CBB), caused by Xanthomonas campestris pv. phaseoli and X. campestris pv. phaseoli var. fuscans, is one of the most important diseases of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) in East Africa and other bean-growing regions. Xanthomonad-like bacteria associated with CBB in Malawi and Tanzania, East Africa, and in Wisconsin, U.S., were characterized based on brown pigm...

Differential Pathogenicity of Xanthomonas campestris pv. phaseoli and X. fuscans subsp. fuscans Strains on Bean Genotypes with Common Blight Resistance

Genetic and physiological analysis of the major OxyR-regulated katA from Xanthomonas campestris pv. phaseoli.

katA encodes the major catalase that accounts for 90 % of the total catalase activity present in Xanthomonas campestris pv. phaseoli. katA is located upstream of an ORF designated ankA encoding a cytoplasmic membrane protein homologous to eukaryotic ankyrin. Transcriptional analysis of katA and ankA identified two katA transcripts: a major monocistronic katA transcript and a minor bicistronic k...

Purification and Characterization of an Endoinulinase from Xanthomonas campestris pv. phaseoli KM 24 Mutant.

An extracellular endoinulinase from Xanthomonas campestris pv. phaseoli KM 24 mutant was purified to homogeneity by gel filtration chromatography and showed a specific activity of 119 U/mg. The optimum pH and temperature of the purified enzyme were found to be 6.0 and 50 °C, respectively. The enzyme was stable up to 60 °C, retaining 60% of residual activity for 30 min, but inactivated rapidly a...

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...
