Abstract	In a previous SRDC/CRCTPP/BSES-funded project, a gene from the sugarcane pathogen Leifsonia xyli subsp. xyli (Lxx) was tagged by transposon mutagenesis, cloned and sequenced, and, based on DNA homology searches, was found to encode what appeared to be a putative integral membrane protein (PIMP). To try to better understand the role of a PIMP in Lxx pathogenicity on sugarcane, this project was undertaken to sequence the flanking regions to determine if this gene was part of an operon or a pathogenicity island.Two overlapping cosmids, both with homology to the flanking region of the transposon in mutant Lxx

Pest, disease and weed management [181]
Research outcomes: A comprehensive RD&E program that addresses existing and emerging pests, diseases and weeds, allowing sugarcane growers to manage their crops efficiently with minimal environmental impacts. An enhanced industry capacity to deal with incursions of exotic pests, diseases and weeds.
