Biological traits of Xylella fastidiosa strains from grapes and almonds

Article Abstract:

A xylem limited bacterium that causes various diseases like the Pierce's disease of grapevine (PD) and almond leaf scorch (ALS) is studied. The results show that genetically distinct strains from grapes and almonds differ in population behavior and pathogenecity in grapes and the inability to grow on two different media.

Use of a green fluorescent strain for analysis of Xylella fastidiosa colonization of vitis vinifera

Article Abstract:

X. fastidiosa colonization of grapevine in a quantitative manner and related patterns of colonization to symptom development are characterized. Findings state that X. fastidiosa is efficient in movement between vessels in the plants.
