The phytopathogen <i>Xylella fastidiosa</i> causes economic losses in important agricultural crops. Xylem vessel occlusion caused by biofilm formation is the major mechanism underlying the pathogenicity of distinct strains of <i>X. fastidiosa</i>.

Based on the results, we performed a comparison with a strain J1a12, which cannot induce citrus variegated chlorosis symptoms when inocu ...[more]
