Figure 5. Among strains of pv. mangiferaeindicae, disruption of xopC by an IS element correlates with pathogenicity on Schinus terebenthifolius.

Figure 5

Strains belonging to the pv. mangiferaeindicae are either pathogenic on Mangifera indica or on Schinus terebenthifolius. A: PCR experiments reveal the insertion of the IS1479 element in all strains pathogenic on Schinus terebenthifolius. In contrast, strains pathogenic on Mangifera indica display a xopC gene that is not inactivated by IS1479. B: However, all strains display identical repertoires in dot-blot hybridization experiments. Such result suggests that inactivation of xopC may explain a pathogenicity switch between Mangifera indica and Schinus terebenthifolius.
