Analysis of the stability of tandem repeats upon transmission of the pathogen from field Duncan grapefruit infected with HB haplotype of ‘Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus’.

aCLas-infected field-grown Duncan grapefruit (DG-Field) used as inoculum source for graft transmission of the pathogen.bDG and MV plants graft-inoculated using tissue from the source DG-Field.cNumber of clones contained a particular number of repeats out of total clones sequenced.
