Xylella fastidiosa, the causal agent of Citrus Variegated Chlorosis (CVC), and other bacterial pathogens like Agrobacterium tumefaciens, colonizes the vascular tissues of host plants, where the oxygen concentration is limited. Because these pathogens are strict aerobic organism, they cannot survive in the absence of oxygen. To avoid growth inhibition by hypoxia, these pathogens utilize th…
Xylella fastidiosa and Agrobacterium tumefaciens are plant pathogenic bacteria with a wide host range. X. fastidiosa colonizes the vascular tissue occluding the xylem vessels, causing the development of diseases such as Citrus Variegated Chlorosis (CVC). A. tumefaciens is a root-associated bacterium that also colonizes the vascular tissues, and it induces a kind of cell hyperplasia known …
