| identification of new candidate pathogenicity factors in the xylem-invading pathogen xanthomonas albilineans by transposon mutagenesis. | xanthomonas albilineans is a xylem-invading pathogen that produces the toxin albicidin that blocks chloroplast differentiation, resulting in disease symptoms of sugarcane leaf scald. in contrast to other xanthomonads, x. albilineans does not possess a hypersensitive response and pathogenicity type iii secretion system and does not produce xanthan gum. albicidin is the only previously known pathogenicity factor in x. albilineans, yet albicidin-deficient mutant strains are still able to efficientl ... | 2011 | 21190440 |
