Xanthomonas campestris pv. musacearum (Xcm) causes a disease onbanana (Musa spp.) and enset (Ensete spp.) known as banana xanthomonaswilt (BXW). Recent studies have shown that Xcm is a strain of X. vasicola(Aritua et al., 2008). However, the status of pathovars within thespecies remains unclear. ...

Positive selection to improve quality of farmers seed potato.
Bacterial wilt is an important soil borne disease that threatens potato production. It is difficult to control due to the large number of hosts, high genetic and phenotypic variability of the pathogen, systemic localization of the pathogen, and lack of chemical control. Use of antagonistic microo...

Bananas (Musa spp.) are subject to a number of diseases that are difficult todiagnose early in development when control measures are most likely to besuccessful. Rapidly spreading new diseases, such as Xanthomonas wilt presentunique diagnostic challenges. Surveys conducted in East and West Africa...
