Diversity of "Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus," based on the omp gene sequence.
Huanglongbing (yellow dragon disease) is a destructive disease of citrus. The etiological agent is a noncultured, phloem-restricted alpha-proteobacterium, "Candidatus Liberibacter africanus" in Africa and "Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus" in Asia. In this study, we used an omp-based PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) approach to analyze the genetic variability of "Ca. Liberib...
متن کاملGenomic characterization of a liberibacter present in an ornamental rutaceous tree, Calodendrum capense, in the Western Cape Province of South Africa. Proposal of 'Candidatus Liberibacter africanus subsp. capensis'.
In 1994, the uncultured phloem-restricted bacteria of citrus huanglongbing (ex-greening) disease in Asia and Africa were characterized as 'Candidatus Liberobacter asiaticum' and 'Candidatus Liberobacter africanum', respectively. Following the rules of the International Code of Nomenclature of Bacteria, the two bacterial species have now been renamed 'Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus' and 'Cand...
متن کاملApplication of Antibiotics for Control of Citrus Huanglongbing
Citrus Huanglongbing (HLB) is the most devastating disease of citrus. HLB has spread to most of the citrus growing areas in the world and causes significantly decline in both citrus production and citrus industry economic output. HLB is caused by three species of fastidious, phloem-resided alpha proteo bacteria: ‘Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus’ (Las), ‘Candidatus Liberibacter americanus’(Lam...
متن کاملCitrus huanglongbing: a newly relevant disease presents unprecedented challenges.
Citrus huanglongbing (HLB) is one of the oldest citrus diseases and has been known for over a century. HLB is caused by 'Candidatus Liberibacter' spp. that are phloem-limited, fastidious α-proteobacteria and infect hosts in different Kingdoms (i.e., Animalia and Plantae). When compared with well-characterized, cultivatable plant-pathogenic Gram-negative bacteria, the interactions of uncultured ...
متن کاملTransient Expression of Candidatus Liberibacter Asiaticus Effector Induces Cell Death in Nicotiana benthamiana
Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus "Las" is a phloem-limited bacterial plant pathogen, and the most prevalent species of Liberibacter associated with citrus huanglongbing (HLB), a devastating disease of citrus worldwide. Although, the complete sequence of the Las genome provides the basis for studying functional genomics of Las and molecular mechanisms of Las-plant interactions, the functional c...
