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

aCLas-infected field-grown mandarin (Man-Field) used as inoculum source for graft transmission of the pathogen.bMV, Citrus macrophylla (CM), and DG plants graft-inoculated using tissue from the source Man-Field.cNumber of clones contained a particular number of repeats out of total clones sequenced.
