Common bacterial blight (CBB) caused by Xanthomonas campestris pv. phaseoli and X. campestris pv. phaseoli var. fuscans is a seed-borne disease that can signifi cantly reduce yield and seed quality of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.). Disease resistance is the most effective management strategy, but most common bean cultivars have no CBB resistance. Marker-assisted selection (MAS) shows prom...

A spontaneous Xanthomonas campestris pv. phaseoli H(2)O(2)-resistant mutant emerged upon selection with 1 mM H(2)O(2). In this report, we show that growth of this mutant under noninducing conditions gave high levels of catalase, alkyl hydroperoxide reductase (AhpC and AhpF), and OxyR. The H(2)O(2) resistance phenotype was abolished in oxyR-minus derivatives of the mutant, suggesting that elevat...

Common bacterial blight (CBB) caused by Xanthomonas campestris pv. phaseoli reduces common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) yield and quality worldwide. Genetic resistance provides effective disease control; however, a high level of resistance is difficult to attain and does not exist in pinto bean, the most important dry bean market class in North America. Our objective was to determine if a backc...

Studies on some bacterial diseases of fruit plants from Aurangabad district was carried out during 2003-2009. They are: Leaf necrosis of Custard apple caused by Xanthomonas annonae; Citrus canker caused by Xanthomonas campestris pv. citri; Bacterial canker of Mango caused by Xanthomonas campestris pv. mangiferaeindicae; Leaf necrosis of Guava caused by Xanthomonas psidae; and leaf spot of Badam...

The random amplified polymorphic DNA method was used to distinguish strains of Xanthomonas campestris pv. pelargonii from 21 other Xanthomonas species and/or pathovars. Among the 42 arbitrarily chosen primers evaluated, 3 were found to reveal diagnostic polymorphisms when purified DNAs from compared strains were amplified by the PCR. The three primers revealed DNA amplification patterns which w...
