Journal ArticleDOI
In planta distribution of 'Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus' as revealed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and real-time PCR
Satyanarayana Tatineni,Uma Shankar Sagaram,Siddarame Gowda,Cecile J. Robertson,William O. Dawson,Toru Iwanami,Nian Wang +6 more
TL;DR: It is found that 'Ca. Liberibacter asiaticus' was distributed in bark tissue, leaf midrib, roots, and different floral and fruit parts, but not in endosperm and embryo, of infected citrus trees, and was transmitted systemically from infection site to different parts of the plant.
Journal ArticleDOI
Enhanced proliferation and efficient transmission of Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus by adult Diaphorina citri after acquisition feeding in the nymphal stage
TL;DR: It is suggested that multiplication of the bacterium into the psyllids is essential for an efficient transmission and show that it is difficult for adults to transmit the pathogen unless they acquire it as nymphs.
Journal ArticleDOI
ICTV virus taxonomy profile : Secoviridae
Jeremy R. Thompson,Indranil Dasgupta,Marc Fuchs,Toru Iwanami,Alexander V. Karasev,Karel Petrzik,Hélène Sanfaçon,Ioannis E. Tzanetakis,René van der Vlugt,Thierry Wetzel,Nobuyuki Yoshikawa +10 more
TL;DR: Members of the family Secoviridae are non-enveloped viruses with mono- or bipartite (RNA-1 and RNA-2) linear positive-sense ssRNA genomes with the size of the RNAs combined ranging from 9 to 13.7 kb.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of the tufB-secE-nusG-rplKAJL-rpoB Gene Cluster of the Citrus Greening Organism and Detection by Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification
TL;DR: A loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) assay based on the conserved sequence of the nusG-rplKAJL-rpoB gene cluster was developed for the detection of the GO, and could detect as low as about 300 copies ofThe LAMP-based detection method will be useful for under-equipped laboratories, including those found in extension centers and quarantine offices.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of genetic diversity among 'Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus' isolates collected in Southeast Asia.
Kenta Tomimura,Shin-ichi Miyata,Noriko Furuya,Kenji Kubota,Mitsuru Okuda,Siti Subandiyah,Ting-Hsuan Hung,H. J. Su,Toru Iwanami +8 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that the bacteriophage-type DNA polymerase region would be useful for molecular differentiation between different Southeast Asian 'Ca. Liberibacter asiaticus' isolates.
