Survival of pv. in Soil and in Corn Crop Residues under the Humid Subtropical Climate of Southern Brazil.

Bacterial leaf streak caused pv. (Xvv) is an emerging disease in several corn-producing regions around the world. In Brazil, there is a lack of information on the survival of this bacterium in soil and crop residues.

Relative Contribution of Windbreak, Copper Sprays, and Leafminer Control for Citrus Canker Management and Prevention of Crop Loss in Sweet Orange Trees.

The management of citrus canker, caused by subsp. , has been widely studied in endemic areas because of the importance of the disease in several citrus-producing countries. A set of control measures is well established, but no study has investigated the efficiency of each measure individually and their combination for disease suppression.

CitrusKB: a comprehensive knowledge base for transcriptome and interactome of Citrus spp. infected by Xanthomonas citri subsp. citri at different infection stages.

Citrus canker type A is a serious disease caused by Xanthomonas citri subsp. citri (X. citri), which is responsible for severe losses to growers and to the citrus industry worldwide.

Development of a Protocol and a Diagrammatic Scale for Quantification of Bacterial Leaf Streak Disease on Young Plants of Maize.

Bacterial leaf streak (BLS), caused pv. (), has become a major concern for maize production, mainly in the United States and South America. Therefore, this study aimed to establish a protocol for inoculation in young maize plants under controlled conditions and to develop and validate a diagrammatic scale for evaluation of maize hybrids in regard to BLS resistance.

Novel insights into the genomic basis of citrus canker based on the genome sequences of two strains of Xanthomonas fuscans subsp. aurantifolii.

Background: Citrus canker is a disease that has severe economic impact on the citrus industry worldwide. There are three types of canker, called A, B, and C. The three types have different phenotypes and affect different citrus species.

[Natural infectivity of Xylella fastidiosa Wells et al. in sharpshooters (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae) from coffee plantations of Parana, Brazil].

Xylella fastidiosa Wells et al., a gram-negative and xylem limited bacterium, causes significative economic on several crops, such as the leaf scorch in coffee. It is transmitted by xylem feeding insects and four sharpshooters species have been reported as vectors of X.

Outbreaks of Bacterial Spot Caused by Xanthomonas gardneri on Processing Tomato in Central-West Brazil.

Severe epidemics of bacterial spot have been observed in central-west Brazil in fields of processing tomato. Several xanthomonads, Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. vesicatoria, X.
