Genomic Insights into Xylella fastidiosa Interactions with Plant and Insect Hosts
The utilization of genomic data and widespread availability of genomics tools is still incipient in plant pathology. The first genome of a plant pathogen, that of the bacterium Xylella fastidiosa, was only completed in 2000 (Simpson et al. 2000). Since then, many bacterial plant pathogens have been sequenced, but much of the scientific knowledge extracted from these data is still limited, espec...
متن کاملThe Bacterial Pathogen Xylella fastidiosa Affects the Leaf Ionome of Plant Hosts during Infection
Xylella fastidiosa is a plant pathogenic bacterium that lives inside the host xylem vessels, where it forms biofilm believed to be responsible for disrupting the passage of water and nutrients. Here, Nicotiana tabacum was infected with X. fastidiosa, and the spatial and temporal changes in the whole-leaf ionome (i.e. the mineral and trace element composition) were measured as the host plant tra...
متن کاملHorizontal gene transfer through natural competence and recombination in the generalist plant pathogen Xylella fastidiosa by
Homologous recombination is one of many forces contributing to the diversity, adaptation, and emergence of pathogens. For naturally competent bacteria, transformation is one possible route for the acquisition of novel genetic material. This study demonstrates that Xylella fastidiosa, a generalist bacterial plant pathogen responsible for many emerging plant diseases, is naturally competent and a...
متن کاملGene expression profile of the plant pathogen Xylella fastidiosa during biofilm formation in vitro.
A biofilm is a community of microorganisms attached to a solid surface. Cells within biofilms differ from planktonic cells, showing higher resistance to biocides, detergent, antibiotic treatments and host defense responses. Even though there are a number of gene expression studies in bacterial biofilm formation, limited information is available concerning plant pathogen. It was previously demon...
متن کاملPathogen Special: Vibrio Cholerae, Pseudomonas Aeruginosa and Xylella Fastidiosa
One could almost say that it is the latest fashion to sequence a bacterial genome. However, this would belittle the efforts of those working on these important organisms, whose data will greatly help those working on the prevention of disease in the fields of medicine and agriculture. In this feature we present a guided tour of the latest additions to the 'sequenced microbes' club. Vibrio chole...
