Low genetic diversity among pathogenic strains of Erwinia psidii from Brazil Baixa diversidade genética entre estirpes patogênicas de Erwinia psidii no Brasil

Erwinia psidii causes bacterial disease of guava in Brazil. Phenotypic and molecular characterization through rep-PCR fingerprinting of 42 strains from different geographical regions showed that E. psidii populations in Brazil have a low level of genetic diversity and suggest that contaminated plant...
