| Abstract: | Abstract Isolates of X. campestris pv. sesami used in the present work behaved almost similarly on the basis of their morphological, biochemical and physiological characterization. The studies failed to differentiate any strains within the isolates. Pathogenicity of the isolates to sesame plants was proved by inoculation experiments. When other plant species were inoculated infection did not occur. The levels of resistance of some naturally selected sesame cultivars were investigated following artificial infection with the pathogen. Seven cultivars proved resistant, three ( cvs Tozi 3, S-76F |
