Arabidopsis as a host for Xylella fastidiosa

[Patricia Monteiro]

I am looking for an experimental host for Xylella fastidiosa, the causal
agent of citrus variegated chlorosis. I would like to know if anybody has
tryed to innoculate Arabidopsis with Xylella and if the disease symptons
were obtained.

Thank you in advance.
