Pathogenicity and virulence gene content of Xanthomonas strains infecting Araceae, formerly known as Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. dieffenbachiae
2017-12-01
Abstract excerpt
Bacterial leaf blight of aroids is caused by a heterogeneous group of xanthomonads listed as Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. dieffenbachiae (Xad) on the EPPO A2 quarantine list. Recently, Xad strains were shown not to belong to X. axonopodis but to the species X. citri, X. phaseoli and X. euvesicatoria. Here, to verify the pathovar designation, 11 representative strains were tested for pathogenicity on six aroid genera...
