| Abstract: | Twenty strains of Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris (Xcc) were isolated from two major crucifer-growing valleys, Chitwan and Kathmandu in Nepal and characterized by biochemical and pathogenicity tests. Strains were homogeneous in bacteriological characteristics. The ability of a strain to induce high or low disease severity index (DSI) on three host plants, broccoli, cabbage, and cauliflower, was interpreted as virulence. Strains that were associated with high or low virulence were significantly different (P>0.05). No relationship between virulence and biochemical characteristics was observed. |
