Abstract:
A targeted enrichment method was developed to sequence Xylella fastidiosa genomic DNA directly from plant samples. The method was evaluated on various plant species infected with different strains at different levels of contamination. After enrichment, X. fastidiosa genome coverage was above 99.9% for all tested samples.
