A pathogenicity locus from Xanthomonas citri enables strains from several pathovars of X. campestris to elicit cankerlike lesions on citrus
1991-07-01
Abstract excerpt
A virulence enhancement approach was used to clone a pathogenicity (pth) locus from a highly virulent pathogen by assaying the library in a second, less virulent strain that was compatible with the same host. A genomic library of the virulent Asiatic canker pathogen Xanthomonas citri was conjugally transferred to the opportunistic pathogen, X. campestris citrumelo, and the transconjugants were screened on Citrus p...
