Molecular characterisation and identification of Pseudomonas savastanoi pv. Phaseolicola, infecting mungbeans in Australia

(2020) Molecular characterisation and identification of Pseudomonas savastanoi pv. Phaseolicola, infecting mungbeans in Australia. PhD by Publication, Queensland University of Technology.

Description

This research explores population genetics for the bacterial pathogen Pseudomonas savastanoi pv. phaseolicola, which causes halo blight disease in its host mungbeans (Vigna radiata). The pathogen and host populations were investigated at a board scale using field and glasshouse studies and in detail using molecular biology techniques including qPCR and next-generation sequencing. The study found both the bacterial pathogen and host (mungbean) to have highly conserved genetic backgrounds. This will make it easier for breeders to target critical resistance genes to prevent the infection of the halo blight pathogen in future cultivars.

Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.

These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
