Host Range Of Xanthomonas Manihotis Starr

Ofelia I. Dedal | Manuel K. Palomar | C M. Napiere

Abstract:

Xanthomonas manihotis Starr infected four species of euphorbiaceous plants, namely: Manihot glaziovii Muell.-Arg., Manihot esculenta Crantz (variegated ornamental ca sava), Euphorbia pulcherrima Willd., and Pedilanthus tithymaloides (L.) Poit. The diagnostic character of the disease on the alternate hosts was similar to that on cassava which served a the control.
