Isolates in lineage 1A caused greater than 50% leaf drop and a 17-g shoot weight reduction compared with a 9% leaf drop and a 6-g shoot weight reduction by isolates in lineage 2B. Overall, 42% of the V. dahliae isolates from Xinjiang were D pathotype but the percentage varied widely among locations. Two plants had both pathotypes. Nineteen isolates of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. vasinfectum VCG0114 (race 4) also were recovered from wilted plants in Xinjiang. Two plants had both Verticillium wilt and Fusarium wilt pathogens. Both pathogens should be considered when using or developing wilt resistant or tolerant materials for Xinjiang.Clavibacter nebraskensis causes Goss's bacterial wilt and leaf blight, a major disease of maize. Infected crop residue is the primary inoculum source and infection can occur via wounds or natural openings, such as stomata or hydathodes. The use of resistant hybrids is the primary control method for Goss's wilt. In this study, colonization and movement patterns of C. nebraskensis during infection were examined using green fluorescent protein (GFP)-labeled bacterial strains. We successfully introduced a plasmid to C. nebraskensis via electroporation, which resulted in GFP accumulation. Fluorescence microscopy revealed that in the absence of wounding, bacteria colonize leaf tissue via entry through the hydathodes when guttation droplets are present. Stomatal penetration was not observed under natural conditions. Bacteria initially colonize the xylem and subsequently the mesophyll, which creates the freckles that are characteristic of the disease. Bacteria infiltrated into the mesophyll did not cause disease symptoms, could not enter the vasculature, and did not spread from the initial inoculation point. Bacteria were observed exuding through stomata onto the leaf surface, resulting in the characteristic sheen of diseased leaves. Resist
