Preliminary transcriptomic analyses reveal in vitro and in planta overexpression of various bacteriocins in Xylella fastidiosa
Our findings suggest that the <i>cvaC-1</i>-related transcript can be employed in RT-qPCR/RT-PCR to improve the detectability of actively growing <i>Xylella fastidiosa</i> cells <i>in vitro</i> and in host's xylem vessels. Indeed, being the most expressed component of bacterial weapons, novel studies focusing on its functions and role in the bacterial pathogenic life cycle should be envisioned.
