Xylella fastidiosa is a bacterial plant pathogen that infects numerous plant hosts. Disease
develops when the bacterium colonizes the xylem vessels and forms a biofilm. Inductively …

The bacterial plant pathogen Xylella fastidiosa produces biofilm that accumulates in the host
xylem vessels, affecting disease development in various crops and bacterial acquisition by …

Systemic bacteria such as Xylella fastidiosa can be vertically transmitted by using diseased
propagative material during nursery tree production. We tested the hypothesis that X …

High rates of homologous recombination (HR) in the bacterial plant pathogen Xylella
fastidiosa have been previously detected. This study aimed to determine the extent and …
