Two TAL Effectors of Xanthomonas citri pv. malvacearum Induce Water Soaking by Activating GhSWEET14 Genes in Cotton.

Bacterial blight of cotton (BBC) caused by Xanthomonas citri pv. malvacearum (Xcm) is an important and destructive disease affecting cotton plants. Transcription activator-like effectors (TALEs) released by the pathogen regulate cotton resistance to the susceptibility.

Comparative Transcriptomic Analysis of Wheat Cultivars in Response to pv. and Its T2SS, T3SS, and TALEs Deficient Strains.

pv. causes bacterial leaf streak disease on small grain cereals. Type II and III secretion systems (T2SS and T3SS) play a pivotal role in the pathogenicity of the bacterium, while no data are available on the transcriptomic profile of wheat cultivars infected with either wild type (WT) or mutants of the pathogen.

Detection and Diagnosis of Bacterial Leaf Streak on Small Grain Cereals: From Laboratory to Field.

Bacterial leaf streak of small-grain cereals is an economically important disease of wheat and barley crops. The disease occurs in many countries across the globe, with particular importance in regions characterized by high precipitation or areas in which sprinkler irrigation is used. Three genetically distinct lineages of the Gram-negative bacterium ( pv.

Pathovar-Specific PCR Method for Detection and Identification of pv. .

Bacterial leaf streak disease caused by pv. is an economically important disease threatening wheat and barley crops around the globe. Thus far, specific PCR-based detection and identification tests for pathovars are not available.

Genomics-Enabled Novel Insight Into the Pathovar-Specific Population Structure of the Bacterial Leaf Streak Pathogen in Small Grain Cereals.

The Gram-negative bacterium infects a wide range of gramineous plants with a notable impact on small grain cereals. However, genomics-informed intra-species population structure and virulence repertories of the pathogen have rarely been investigated. In this study, the complete genome sequences of seven strains representing an entire set of genetic diversity of two pathovars pv.

Complete Genome Sequencing Provides Novel Insight Into the Virulence Repertories and Phylogenetic Position of Dry Beans Pathogen pv. .

Bacterial wilt of dry beans (family Fabaceae) caused by the actinobacterial agent pv. is one of the most important diseases threatening edible legume production around the globe. Despite the economic losses due to the bacterial wilt disease, the pathogen has not so far been investigated for its genomic features, pathogenicity determinants, and virulence strategies.

Transcription Activator-Like Effectors Diversity in Iranian Strains of .

Bacterial leaf streak caused by different pathovars of is the most important seedborne bacterial disease of small grain cereals. However, variations in the virulence-associated genomic areas of the pathogen remain uninvestigated. In this study, the diversity of transcription activator-like effectors (TALE) was investigated using the Southern blotting of HIdigested genomic DNAs in the Iranian strains of .

Molecular Typing Reveals High Genetic Diversity of Xanthomonas translucens Strains Infecting Small-Grain Cereals in Iran.

This study provides a phylogeographic insight into the population diversity of strains causing bacterial leaf streak disease of small-grain cereals in Iran. Among the 65 bacterial strains isolated from wheat, barley, and gramineous weeds in eight Iranian provinces, multilocus sequence analysis and typing (MLSA and MLST) of four housekeeping genes (, , , and ), identified 57 strains as pv. undulosa, while eight strains were identified as pv.
