Table 4. Analysis of the stability of tandem repeats upon transmission of the pathogen from field Duncan grapefruit infected with HB haplotype of ‘Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus’.
| Sample | No. of Repeats | |||
| Motif A | Motif B | Motif C | Motif D | |
| DG-Fielda | 13 (9/9c) | 16 (9/10) | 9 (9/9) | 8 (9/9) |
| 15 (1/10) | ||||
| DGb | 13 (10/10) | 16 (8/9) | 9 (9/9) | 8 (9/9) |
| 17 (1/9) | ||||
| MVb | 13 (19/20) | 16 (13/13) | 9 (10/10) | 8 (13/13) |
| 14 (1/20) | ||||
a
CLas-infected field-grown Duncan grapefruit (DG-Field) used as inoculum source for graft transmission of the pathogen.
b
DG and MV plants graft-inoculated using tissue from the source DG-Field.
c
Number of clones contained a particular number of repeats out of total clones sequenced.
