Abstract

In this study, the pathogen responsible for canker disease in Acid Lime Cv. Petlur Acid Lime was identified through a comprehensive analysis involving both morphological and molecular characterization techniques. Cultures of the Xanthomonas campestris pv. citri (Xcc) bacterial isolate, grown on artificial media, exhibited distinct characteristics: small, round, and mucoid colonies with a gram-negative nature, as revealed by Gram staining. Molecular identification was performed using universal primers 27F and 1492R, resulting in a specific DNA band of 424 bp, confirming the presence of the pathogen in the samples.
