A rapid and sensitive detection of Clavibacter michiganensis subsp. michiganensis in tomato seeds by polymerase chain reaction
TL;DR: A polymerase chain reaction-based method was applied for the detection and identification of Clavibacter michigansensis subsp.

Multiple DNA Markers for Identification of Xanthomonas arboricola pv. juglandis Isolates and its Direct Detection in Plant Samples.
TL;DR: Nine novel specific DNA markers selected by dedicated in silico approaches to identify Xaj isolates and detect these bacteria in infected plant material allow conciliating the specificity of DNA-detection assays with typing resolution, contributing to rapid detection and identification of potential emergent and acutely virulent Xaj genotypes.

TL;DR: A selection strategy able to provide a large number of Xeu-specific DNA markers that can detect Xeu in infected plants both by PCR and by hybridization-based assays coupled with automatic data analysis is detailed.
Identification of Xanthomonas fragariae, Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. phaseoli, and Xanthomonas fuscans subsp. fuscans with novel markers and using a dot blot platform coupled with automatic data analysis.

TL;DR: This work proposes 21 newXanthomonas-specific molecular markers, within loci coding for Xanthomona-specific protein domains, useful for DNA-based methods of identification of xanthomonads, and proposes an image-processing algorithm to analyze automatically the dot blot patterns.
