Journal ArticleDOI

Comparison of the genomes of two Xanthomonas pathogens with differing host specificities

A.C.R. da Silva, +65 more
TL;DR: The genus Xanthomonas is a diverse and economically important group of bacterial phytopathogens, belonging to the γ-subdivision of the Proteobacteria, and several groups of strain-specific genes are identified and proposed mechanisms that may explain the differing host specificities and pathogenic processes are proposed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Citrus huanglongbing in Sao Paulo State, Brazil: PCR detection of the 'Candidatus' Liberibacter species associated with the disease

TL;DR: The results reported here confirm the presence of HLB in the State of São Paulo and identify a new liberibacter species, Candidatus Liberibacter americanus, which is the most widely distributed pathogen.
Journal ArticleDOI

Distribution and quantification of Candidatus Liberibacter americanus, agent of huanglongbing disease of citrus in São Paulo State, Brasil, in leaves of an affected sweet orange tree as determined by PCR

TL;DR: Results demonstrate the uneven distribution of the Liberibacter in HLB-affected trees, which could be shown to be Gram-negative and to represent a new candidate genus, Candidatus Liberibacteria, in the alpha subdivision of the Proteobacteria.
Journal ArticleDOI

A phytoplasma closely related to the pigeon pea witches'-broom phytoplasma (16Sr IX) is associated with citrus huanglongbing symptoms in the state of São Paulo, Brazil.

TL;DR: Results show that a phytoplasma of group IX is associated with citrus HLB symptoms in northern, central, and southern SPs, transmitted to citrus from an external source of inoculum, but the putative insect vector is not yet known.
