Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. manihotis gumD gene is essential for EPS production and pathogenicity and enhances epiphytic survival on cassava (Manihot esculenta)
2004-04-01
Abstract excerpt
Extracellular polysaccharide-defective (EPS-) mutants of the cassava blight pathogen, Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. manihotis, were created by targeted disruption of the biosynthetic gene gumD. Pathogenicity of mutants was severely attenuated. Two EPS- mutants infiltrated into the leaf apoplast, caused initial water-soaking and chlorosis but symptoms were confined to inoculated zones, whereas those of wild type I56 r...
