Analysis of the stability of tandem repeats through adult acquisition–adult transmission experiments.

a‘Ca. L. asiaticus’-infected greenhouse grown rough lemon (Source-R1) used as an inoculum source for psyllid transmission of the pathogen.bAnterior part (including head and prothorax) of each psyllid individual after acquisition feeding on source-R1 plant and inoculation feeding on recipient yuzu seedling.cPosterior part (including mesothorax, metathorax, and abdomen) of each psyllid individual after acquisition feeding on source-R1 plant and inoculation feeding on recipient yuzu seedling.dRecipient plants that became infected upon psyllid transmission of the bacterium from the source plant 'Source-R1'.eLast number between the psyllid as vector and the recipient plant was one-to-one correspondence, respectively.fUnderline shows varied number of VNTR compared with that from source plant ‘Source-R1’.gPsyllid, Diaphorina citri; yuzu, Citrus junos.Analysis of the stability of tandem repeats through adult acquisition–adult transmission experiments.
