Surface Characteristics
Xanthomonas is a flagellated, rod-shaped bacteria, which allows the bacteria to move throughout an infected plant. Xanthomonas is dependent on the type III protein secretion system, which relies on transport protiens, secreting several hypersensitive reaction proteins and outer proteins, causing an interaction with the plant.
Transmission
Symptoms of citrus canker, including small yellow lesions, can begin to appear as soon as only one week after the initial infection up to two months afterwards. Eventually, the initial yellow lesions turn brown and form a 'corky' surface, providing a method for later transmission to other plants and tissues.
Pathogenic Activity
Xanthomonas affects many types of hosts, including citrus, beans, grapes, cotton, and rice. X. axonopodis causes citrus cankers and black rot, which affects many commercial plants. Typical symptoms of the disease include lesions on the leaves, fruit, and stems as well as twig dieback.
