ABSTRACT Xanthomonas translucens, the causal agent of bacterial leaf streak disease (BLS) in cereals, is a re-emerging pathogen that becoming increasingly destructive across world. While BLS has caused yield losses past, there anecdotal evidence newer isolates may be more virulent. We observed two translucens collected from sites Colorado are aggressive on current wheat and barley varieties compared to older isolates, we hypothesize genetic changes between recent contribute differences isolate aggressiveness. To test this, phenotyped genetically characterized X. 2018, which designated CO236 (from barley) CO237 wheat). Using pathovar-specific phenotyping PCR primers, determined belongs pathovar undulosa. sequenced full genomes using Oxford Nanopore long-read sequencing, their whole against published genomes. This analysis confirmed our designations for Xtt Xtu CO237, showed that, at whole-genome level, were no obvious genomic structural other respective Focusing undulosa (Xtu CO237), then putative Type III effectors among all available found they highly conserved. However, striking presence sequence various transcription activator-like (TALE) genomes, correlate with virulence. Here, explore potential implications these virulence factors, provide possible explanations increased recently-emerged isolates.

The genus Xanthomonas contains a set of diverse bacterial strains, most which are known for their pathogenicity on annual crops and fruit trees causing economically important plant diseases. Recently, five strains were isolated from Agrobacterium-induced crown gall tissues amaranth (Amaranthus sp.) weeping fig (Ficus benjamina) plants in Iran. Phenotypic characteristics (i.e. biochemical tests features) whole genome sequence-based core-genome phylogeny followed by average nucleotide identity digital DNA-DNA hybridization calculations suggested that these gall-associated belong to two new species within the Xanthomonas. In this study, we provide formal description where bonasiae sp. nov. is proposed with FX4T (=CFBP 8703T=DSM 112530T) as type strain. name youngii AmX2T 8902T=DSM 112529T)

Xanthomonas arboricola comprises a number of economically important fruit tree pathogens classified within different pathovars. Dozens nonpathogenic and taxonomically unvalidated strains are also designated as X. arboricola, leading to complicated taxonomic status in the species. In this study, we have evaluated whole-genome resources all available spp. public databases refine members species based on DNA similarity indexes core genome-based phylogeny. Our results show that, nine validly described pathovars pathotype seven genuine, belonging clade regardless their pathogenicity host isolation (thus validity pathovar status).

Abstract Soft rot‐inducing bacterial pathogens are considered among the main biotic constraints on vegetables and annual crops. Most of soft rot members Pectobacterium spp. Dickeya , with former genus encompassing a continuously increasing number species varying in geographic distribution host isolation.

During 2021, crops symptoms maceration were collected from Fars, Hamedan, Isfahan, Khuzestan Kohgiluyeh‐Boyer‐Ahmad provinces Iran. Forty‐four pectinolytic strains isolated symptomatic tissues bell pepper, cabbage, carrot, lettuce, potato zucchini.

All pathogenic their Among 44 strains, 26 identified as based primer pair Y1/Y2.

Bacterial leaf streak of small-grain cereals is an economically important disease wheat and barley crops. The occurs in many countries across the globe, with particular importance regions characterized by high precipitation or areas which sprinkler irrigation used. Three genetically distinct lineages Gram-negative bacterium Xanthomonas translucens (X. pv. undulosa, X. translucens, cerealis) are responsible for most bacterial infections on Considering seedborne nature pathogens, they included A2 (high-risk) list quarantine organisms some European countries; hence, under strict control zero tolerance. Due to taxonomic complexities within exact geographic distribution each pathovar has not yet been determined. In this mini review, we provide updated overview detection diagnosis pathogens. First, a short history pathogens provided, followed symptomology host range causal agents. Then, utility conventional methods high-throughput molecular approaches precise identification explained. Finally, highlight role inspections early pathogen combating risk 21st century's small-grains cereals' industry.
