Abstract excerpt
Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. manihotis (Xam) is the causative agent of cassava bacterial blight (CBB), a worldwide disease that is particularly destructive in South America and Africa. CBB is controlled essentially through the use of resistant varieties. To develop an appropriate disease management strategy, the genetic diversity of the pathogen's populations must be assessed. Until now, the genetic diversity of...
