Confirmation of Xanthomonas citri subsp. citri causing citrus canker in Timor-Leste
Australasian Plant Disease Notes 12 (44)
Abstract: The bacterium Xanthomonas citri subsp. citri, which causes the disease citrus canker, has been confirmed and reported for the first time in Timor-Leste. Herbarium collections indicate citrus canker has been present since at least 2006. The identity of X. citri subsp. citri has been confirmed using biochemical, and molecular tests, and by completion of Koch's postulates.
