“…Possible sources for the contamination include rhizobacteria growing in close association with the root system, or bacterial pathogens present within the plant tissue (Egli et al 1975; Franche et al 2009; Okon and Labandera-Gonzalez 1994; Vauterin et al 1995). In addition, a large proportion of the bacterial contamination possibly occurred through the inability to remove all soil particles attached to the root tissue prior to DNA extraction.…”

Chloroplast genome sequences are of broad significance in plant biology, due to frequent use in molecular phylogenetics, comparative genomics, population genetics, and genetic modification studies. The present study used a second-generation sequencing approach to determine and assemble the plastid genomes (plastomes) of four representatives from the agriculturally important Lolium-Festuca species complex of pasture grasses (Lolium multiflorum, Festuca pratensis, Festuca altissima, and Festuca ovina). Total cellular DNA was extracted from either roots or leaves, was sequenced, and the output was filtered for plastome-related reads. A comparison between sources revealed fewer plastome-related reads from root-derived template but an increase in incidental bacterium-derived sequences. Plastome assembly and annotation indicated high levels of sequence identity and a conserved organization and gene content between species. However, frequent deletions within the F. ovina plastome appeared to contribute to a smaller plastid genome size. Comparative analysis with complete plastome sequences from other members of the Poaceae confirmed conservation of most grass-specific features. Detailed analysis of the rbcL–psaI intergenic region, however, revealed a “hot-spot” of variation characterized by independent deletion events. The evolutionary implications of this observation are discussed. The complete plastome sequences are anticipated to provide the basis for potential organelle-specific genetic modification of pasture grasses.

“…The name X . graminis originally referred to all strains isolated from Festuca, Lolium, Dactylis, Phleum and Arrhenatherum (Egli et al, 1975). However, Egli & Schmidt (1982) reported that the host range of some strains was restricted to either Phleum, Arrhenatherum or Poa.…”

Strains of all Xanthomonas species, X. campestris pathovars pathogenic for cereals and grasses and strains of X. campestris pv. campestris were compared by SDS-PAGE of proteins, gas chromatography of fatty acid methyl esters and DNA-DNA hybridization. The groupings derived using all three methods correlated well with each other. Strains of X. axonopodis and X. campestris pv. vasculorum were heterogeneous, each comprising two groups (A and B); group A contained the type strain and pathovar reference strain, respectively. Besides the recognized Xanthomonas species X. albitineans, X. campestris, X. fragariae, X. maltophitia, X. oryzae and X. poputi, the following five centres of variation could be delineated at DNA-binding levels of above 60%: (i) a group consisting of X. campestris pathovars transtucens, hordei, cerealis, secalis, undutosa (the 'trarktucens group'), graminis, poae, arrhenatheri, phtei (the 'graminis group') and phleipratensis; (ii) X. axonopodis type A together with X. campestris pv. vascutorum type A and X. campestris pv. coracanae; (iii) a group of X. campestris pv. vascutorum type B and X. campestris pv. hotcicota; (iv) Xanthomonas strains isolated from Bromus; and (v) strains isolated from sugarcane in Guadeloupe. The type B strains of X axonopodis appeared to be misclassified in Xanthomonas. An interim proposal for an improved classification of Xanthomonas is presented on the basis of the data.
