  • Xanthomonas Leaf Spot of Roses

Many plants in the Rosacea family, such as strawberry, Indian hawthorn, and peaches, are affected by bacterial leaf spots. Xanthomonas leaf spot of roses is a relatively new disease, first observed in Florida and Texas between 2004 and 2010. It has the potential to cause significant economic losses in commercial rose production. Cause The bacteria that cause the disease, members of the genus Xanthomonas, are tiny microorganisms that can move short distances in water with the help of a single Figure 2. As the infection worsens, the spots merge, causing necrosis flagellum, a hair-like structure that acts as a propeller. (death) on the leaf.

    Available online at www.sciencedirect.com TAL effectors are remote controls for gene activation Heidi Scholze and Jens Boch TAL (transcription activator-like) effectors constitute a novel typically 34 amino acids (aa) long, but also repeat types of class of DNA-binding proteins with predictable specificity. They 30–42 aa can be found ([2], Figure 2). The last repeat is are employed by Gram-negative plant-pathogenic bacteria of only a half repeat. Repeat-to-repeat variations are limited the genus Xanthomonas which translocate a cocktail of to a few aa positions including two hypervariable residues different effector proteins via a type III secretion system (T3SS) at positions 12 and 13 per repeat. Typically, TALs differ into plant cells where they serve as virulence determinants. in their number of repeats while most contain 15.5–19.5 Inside the plant cell, TALs localize to the nucleus, bind to target repeats [2]. The repeat domain determines the specificity promoters, and induce expression of plant genes. DNA-binding of TALs which is mediated by selective DNA binding specificity of TALs is determined by a central domain of tandem [7,8]. TAL repeats constitute a novel type of DNA- repeats. Each repeat confers recognition of one base pair (bp) binding domain [7] distinct from classical zinc finger, in the DNA. Rearrangement of repeat modules allows design of helix–turn–helix, and leucine zipper motifs. proteins with desired DNA-binding specificities.

  • Identification of the Novel Bacterial Blight Resistance Gene Xa46 (T) By
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Identifcation of the novel bacterial blight resistance gene Xa46(t) by mapping and expression analysis of the rice mutant H120 Shen Chen, Congying Wang, Jianyuan Yang, Bing Chen, Wenjuan Wang, Jing Su, Aiqing Feng, Liexian Zeng & Xiaoyuan Zhu* Rice bacterial leaf blight is caused by Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo) and produces substantial losses in rice yields. Resistance breeding is an efective method for controlling bacterial leaf blight disease. The mutant line H120 derived from the japonica line Lijiangxintuanheigu is resistant to all Chinese Xoo races. To identify and map the Xoo resistance gene(s) of H120, we examined the association between phenotypic and genotypic variations in two F2 populations derived from crosses between H120/CO39 and H120/IR24. The segregation ratios of F2 progeny consisted with the action of a single dominant resistance gene, which we named Xa46(t). Xa46(t) was mapped between the markers RM26981 and RM26984 within an approximately 65.34-kb region on chromosome 11. The 12 genes predicted within the target region included two candidate genes encoding the serine/threonine-protein kinase Doa (Loc_Os11g37540) and Calmodulin-2/3/5 (Loc_Os11g37550). Diferential expression of H120 was analyzed by RNA-seq. Four genes in the Xa46(t) target region were diferentially expressed after inoculation with Xoo. Mapping and expression data suggest that Loc_Os11g37540 allele is most likely to be Xa46(t). The sequence comparison of Xa23 allele between H120 and CBB23 indicated that the Xa46(t) gene is not identical to Xa23.

Accepted 1 March, 2007 Banana production in Eastern Africa is threatened by the presence of a new devastating bacterial disease caused by Xanthomonas vasicola pv. musacearum (formerly Xanthomonas campestris pv. musacearum). The disease has been identified in Uganda, Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, Rwanda and Tanzania. Disease symptoms include wilting and yellowing of leaves, excretion of a yel- lowish bacterial ooze, premature ripening of the bunch, rotting of fruit and internal yellow discoloration of the vascular bundles. Plants are infected either by insects through the inflorescence or by soil-borne bacterial inoculum through the lower parts of the plant. Short- and long-distance transmission of the disease mainly occurs via contaminated tools and insects, though other organisms such as birds may also be involved. Although no banana cultivar with resistance to the disease has been identified as yet, it appears that certain cultivars have mechanisms to ‘escape’ the disease.

The infection results in reduced crop yield, particularly during periods of high rainfall and temperature, due to the low efficiency of chemical control with copper bactericides. This study evaluated the copper and zinc sulfate sensitivity of 59 pathogenic strains of Xanthomonas euvesicatoria isolated from pepper plants produced in various regions throughout Brazil. Both the respective sulfates and a mixture thereof was evaluated at 50, 100, 200 and 400 μg.mL-1. All the evaluated strains were found to be resistant to zinc sulfate (100 μg.mL-1) and 86.4% were resistant to copper sulfate (200 μg.mL-1).
