'Candidatus Liberibacter solanacearum', associated with plants in the family Solanaceae [PDF]
A liberibacter (isolate NZ082226) was detected in a symptomatic tomato plant and subsequently in five other members of the family Solanaceae: capsicum, potato, tamarillo, cape gooseberry and chilli. Phylogenetic analyses of the 16S rRNA gene sequence, the deduced amino acid sequence of the rplJ gene and a partial nucleotide sequence of the beta operon ...

Two plant bacteria, S. meliloti and Ca. Liberibacter asiaticus, share functional znuABC homologues that encode for a high affinity zinc uptake system. [PDF]
The Znu system, encoded for by znuABC, can be found in multiple genera of bacteria and has been shown to be responsible for the import of zinc under low zinc conditions.

CitPH4 Confers Resistance to Citrus Canker by Activating Papain‐Like Cysteine Protease
ABSTRACT Citrus canker, a devastating disease caused by Xanthomonas citri subsp. citri (Xcc), poses a significant threat to global citrus production due to the high susceptibility of nearly all commercial citrus cultivars to it. Although transcription factor Citrus PH4 (CitPH4) is well known for regulating fruit acidity, its potential role in plant ...

Osmotic stress induces long-term biofilm survival in Liberibacter crescens
Citrus greening, also known as Huanglongbing (HLB), is a devastating citrus plant disease caused predominantly by Liberibacter asiaticus. While nearly all Liberibacter species remain uncultured, here we used the culturable L.
