Genome-wide analysis of Xylella fastidiosa: implications for detection and strain relationships
The xylem limited plant pathogenic bacterium Xylella fastidiosa causes economically important diseases on agronomic, horticultural and landscape plants. This review includes the current status of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) based systems for detection and characterization of X. fastidiosa, and presents a genome-wide analysis of strain differentiation. The use of genomics data for strain com...
متن کاملDraft Genome Sequence of Xylella fastidiosa subsp. fastidiosa Strain Stag’s Leap
ITALIC! Xylella fastidiosasubsp. ITALIC! fastidiosacauses Pierce's disease of grapevine. Presented here is the draft genome sequence of the Stag's Leap strain, previously used in pathogenicity/virulence assays to evaluate grapevine germplasm bearing Pierce's disease resistance and a phenotypic assessment of knockout mutants to determine gene function.
متن کاملVapD in Xylella fastidiosa Is a Thermostable Protein with Ribonuclease Activity
Xylella fastidiosa strain 9a5c is a gram-negative phytopathogen that is the causal agent of citrus variegated chlorosis (CVC), a disease that is responsible for economic losses in Brazilian agriculture. The most well-known mechanism of pathogenicity for this bacterial pathogen is xylem vessel occlusion, which results from bacterial movement and the formation of biofilms. The molecular mechanism...
متن کاملTHE ROLE OF LIPOPOLYSACCHARIDES IN VIRULENCE, BIOFILM FORMATION, AND HOST SPECIFICITY OF XYLELLA FASTIDIOSA Principal Investigator:
This project focuses on the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) component of the outer membrane of Xylella fastidiosa (Xf). In particular, we are investigating if the O-antigen portion of this molecule contributes to Xf surface attachment and biofilm formation. More importantly, by targeting genes involved in O-antigen biosynthesis, we will determine if LPS is an important virulence factor for Xf infectio...
متن کاملDiffusible signal factor (DSF) synthase RpfF of Xylella fastidiosa is a multifunction protein also required for response to DSF.
Xylella fastidiosa, like related Xanthomonas species, employs an Rpf cell-cell communication system consisting of a diffusible signal factor (DSF) synthase, RpfF, and a DSF sensor, RpfC, to coordinate expression of virulence genes. While phenotypes of a ΔrpfF strain in Xanthomonas campestris could be complemented by its own DSF, the DSF produced by X. fastidiosa (XfDSF) did not restore expressi...
