| evidence for acquisition of copper resistance genes from different sources in citrus-associated xanthomonads. | abstract we determined that multiple and independent introductions of copper resistance genes have taken place for strains of xanthomonas citri subsp. citri from argentina and strains of x. alfalfae subsp. citrumelonis from florida. this study compared the partial nucleotide sequences of principal copper resistance genes copl, copa, and copb from x. citri subsp. citri and x. alfalfae subsp. citrumelonis to strains of other xanthomonas spp. resistant to copper that were isolated from 12 different ... | 2013 | 23252970 |
| molecular characterization of copper resistance genes from xanthomonas citri subsp. citri and xanthomonas alfalfae subsp. citrumelonis. | copper sprays have been widely used for control of endemic citrus canker caused by xanthomonas citri subsp. citri (xcc) in citrus-growing areas for more than two decades. xanthomonas alfalfae subsp. citrumelonis (xac) populations were also exposed to frequent sprays of copper for several years as a protective measure against citrus bacterial spot (cbs) in florida citrus nurseries. long term use of these bactericides has led to the development of copper resistant (cu(r)) strains in both xcc and x ... | 2011 | 21515725 |
