Abstract

Rhodococcus fascians is a Gram-positive pleomorphic bacterial pathogen of plants which causes growth deformities known as leafy galls (Figure 1). The majority of plants affected are those produced for amenity use, hence grossly malformed plants, for which there is no cure, must be destroyed at the nursery, leading to losses up to and exceeding hundreds of thousands of dollars per nursery on an annual basis
