Phytomonas: Trypanosomatids Adapted to Plant Environments
Over 100 years after trypanosomatids were first discovered in plant tissues, Phytomonas parasites have now been isolated across the globe from members of 24 different plant families. Most identified species have not been associated with any plant pathology and to date only two species are definitively known to cause plant disease. These diseases (wilt of palm and coffee phloem necrosis) are pro...
متن کاملKinetoplast DNA minicircles of phloem-restricted Phytomonas associated with wilt diseases of coconut and oil palms have a two-domain structure.
We report the cloning and sequencing of the first minicircle from a phloem-restricted, pathogenic Phytomonas sp. (Hart 1) isolated from a coconut palm with hartrot disease. The minicircle possessed a two-domain structure of two conserved regions, each containing three conserved sequence blocks (CSB). Based on the sequence around CSB 3 from Hart 1, PCR primers were designed to allow specific amp...
متن کاملDetection of sialoglycomolecules in five plant trypanosomatids and in an insect phytophagous isolate.
The sialoglycoprotein profiles of five plant trypanosomatids (Phytomonas spp.) and of one flagellate (Herpetomonas sp.) isolated from the salivary gland of a phytophagous insect (Phthia picta) were analyzed by Western blotting using three distinct lectins (LFA, SNA and MAA), which recognize specifically sialic acid residues in glycoconjugates. All six flagellates presented at least one polypept...
متن کاملPhytomonas spp: superoxide dismutase in plant trypanosomes.
In 1909, Donovan [1] proposed the creation of a new genus, Phytomonas, to differentiate plant from animal trypanosomatids. Phytomonas spp. live in the latex, sap, sieve tubes, and fruit of many plant species [2]. At first, considerable controversy surrounded the pathogenicity of phytomonads in plants, as initially these parasitic protozoans were not thought to be particularly harmful. However, ...
متن کاملGenus-specific biochemical markers for Phytomonas spp.
Phytomonas spp. are digenetic (two host) flagellated protozoa isolated from plants, with a wide geographical distribution [1,2]. They have been found in 17 different families of plant and are believed to be transmitted by phytophagous hemipteran insects of the families Coreidae, Lygaeidae, Pyrrhocoridae and Pentatomidae [1–5]. Phytomonas spp. have been isolated from latex tubes of laticiferous ...
