Introgression of bacterial leaf blight (BLB) resistant gene, Xa7 into MARDI elite variety, MR219 by marker assisted backcrossing (MABC) approach

Braz. j. biol; 84 (), 2024
Abstract Bacterial leaf blight (BLB) is one of the major rice diseases in Malaysia. This disease causes substantial yield loss as high as 70%. Development of rice varieties which inherited BLB resistant traits is a crucial approach to promote and sustain rice industry in Malaysia. Hence, this study aims ...

Resistance to diseases of sour, sweet and wild passion fruit genotypes

Biosci. j. (Online); 38 (), 2022
The cultivation of passion fruit is important for Brazil, since the country is currently the largest producer and consumer of fruit in the world. However, the fields of passion fruit still face important problems due to the incidence and severity of diseases in the field. Thus, the present study aimed to...

Suppression of Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae biofilm formation by Acacia mangium methanol leaf extract

Braz. j. biol; 81 (1), 2021
Abstract Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo), a pathogen responsible for rice bacterial leaf blight, produces biofilm to protect viable Xoo cells from antimicrobial agents. A study was conducted to determine the potency of Acacia mangium methanol (AMMH) leaf extract as a Xoo biofilm inhibitor. Four conce...

Application of Films Based on Chitosan and Xanthan Gum in Refrigerated Fish Conservation

Abstract This research aims to determine the efficiency of chitosan and xanthan gum films in conservation of croaker fillets kept in refrigeration for 9 days. Proximal composition, loss of mass, color, pH, TVB-N (Total Volatile Bases) and microbiological profile were assessed. The films were prepared wit...

Development and validation of a standard area diagram set as assessment aid for estimating the severity of bacterial spot on tri-lobed leaves of yellow passion fruit

Biosci. j. (Online); 35 (6), 2019
Bacterial spot (Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. passiflorae) significantly reduces yellow passion fruit (Passiflora edulis Sims) yield and longevity. A standard area diagram set (SADs) for severity assessment of bacterial spot on tri-lobed leaves of yellow passion was developed and validated in this study. Th...

Gene expression analysis identifies hypothetical genes that may be critical during the infection process of Xanthomonas citri subsp. citri

Background: Gene expression analysis via microarray is widely used in phytobacteria to validate differential gene expression associated with virulence or to compare biological profiles of wild type and mutant strains. Here, we employed DNA microarrays to study the early stages of the infection process (2...

Caracterização funcional de sistemas de dois componentes em Xanthomonas citri

Xanthomonas citri subsp. citri, é uma bactéria pertencente à classe das Gamaproteobactérias, fitopatogênica, que exibe uma especificidade patógeno-hospedeiro extremamente alta. X. citri infecta plantas do gênero Citrus, causando o cancro cítrico, uma doença destrutiva encontrada em cultivos ao r...

Molecular methods for diversity assessment among xanthomonads of Bulgarian and Macedonian pepper

Braz. j. microbiol; 49 (supl.1), 2018
ABSTRACT Bacterial spot is an important disease of pepper in Bulgaria and Macedonia. For characterization of Xanthomonas species associated with bacterial spot, 161 strains were collected from various field pepper-growing regions. Among them, 131 strains were identified as Xanthomonas euvesicatoria and 3...

Caracterização de dois pares efetor/inibidor associados ao sistema de secreção tipo IV de Xanthomonas citri

O sistema de secreção tipo IV (T4SS) da família de bactérias Xanthomonadaceae transfere efetores (X-Tfes) com a capacidade de matar outras bactérias, conferindo uma vantagem em comunidades bacterianas mistas para colonizar diferentes nichos como o solo ou as superfícies das plantas. Os X-Tfes possu...

Estudos funcionais e bioquímicos sobre o reconhecimento e inibição de efetores de um sistema de secreção tipo IV de Xanthomonas citri subsp. citri.

Sistemas de Secreção Tipo IV (T4SSs), normalmente compostos por 12 proteínas (VirB1-VirB11 e VirD4) são tipicamente associados às funções de conjugação bacteriana e transferência de fatores de patogenicidade para células hospedeiras. Mas também, muitas espécies da ordem Xanthomonadales possu...
