Transformation and Transposon Mutagenesis of Leifsonia xyli subsp. xyli, Causal Organism of Ratoon Stunting Disease of Sugarcane

Conditions have been developed for genetic transformation and insertional mutagenesis in Leifsonia xyli subsp. xyli (Lxx), the causal organism of ratoon stunting disease (RSD), one of the most damaging and intractable diseases of sugarcane internationally. Transformation frequencies ranged from 1 to...
