Isolation, diagnosis of bacteria Xanthomonas axonopodis causing bacterial canker disease on citrus and resistance using antibiotics

in vitro investigation on biocontrol of xanthomonas axonopodis pv. citri cause of citrus bacterial canker by citrus antagonistic bacteria

abstract citrus bacterial canker disease caused by xanthomonas axonopodis pv. citri is one of the most important diseases of citrus in south of iran. in this research, the samples of bacterial flora of citrus leaves were collected from various citrus growing areas of hormozgan, jiroft and mazandaran.the epiphytic bacteria were isolated from those leaves during 2000 and 2001 years. from 453 isol...

Amplification of DNA of Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. citri from historic citrus canker herbarium specimens.

Herbaria are important resources for the study of the origins and dispersal of plant pathogens, particularly bacterial plant pathogens that incite local lesions in which large numbers of pathogen genomes are concentrated. Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. citri (Xac), the causal agent of citrus bacterial canker disease, is a notable example of such a pathogen. The appearance of novel strains of the pa...

Citrus Bacterial Canker Disease and Huanglongbing (Citrus Greening)

IntRODUctIOn Compared with the rest of the world, the California citrus industry is relatively free of diseases that can impact growers’ profits. Unfortunately, exotic plant pathogens may become well established before they are recognized as such. This is primarily because some of the initial symptoms mimic other diseases, mineral deficiencies, or toxicities. In addition, development of disease...

The filamentous phage XacF1 causes loss of virulence in Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. citri, the causative agent of citrus canker disease

In this study, filamentous phage XacF1, which can infect Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. citri (Xac) strains, was isolated and characterized. Electron microscopy showed that XacF1 is a member of the family Inoviridae and is about 600 nm long. The genome of XacF1 is 7325 nucleotides in size, containing 13 predicted open reading frames (ORFs), some of which showed significant homology to Ff-like phage...
