Abstract in Portuguese
A citricultura paulista pode ser considerada uma das mais competitivas e importantes atividades agroindustriais do Brasil, gerando aproximadamente 400 mil empregos e adicionando anualmente U$ 1,4 bilhões ao país. Entretanto ainda apresenta uma produtividade inferior àquela encontrada na Flórida, principalmente devido a deficiências nutricionais e hídricas e a doenças que há diversos anos atingem às lavouras. Nos últimos dez anos a clorose variegada dos citros (CVC), conhecida popularmente como a doença do amarelinho, apresenta-se como o principal problema, sendo a bactéria gram-negativa Xylella fastidiosa seu agente causal. Em vista da importância do cultivo da laranja no país, o projeto "Genoma Xylella fastidiosa" foi proposto, visando o seqüenciamento total do genoma deste fitopatógeno bem como o treinamento de pessoal capacitado na utilização das modernas técnicas de biologia molecular. Segmentos de DNA provenientes de 7 cosmídeos e diversos clones provenientes de bibliotecas de "shotgun" genômico foram seqüenciados em nosso laboratório, totalizando 271.220 pb do genoma da bactéria. Em seguida foi feita a anotação das orfs preditas por programa GLIMMER, sendo que em nosso laboratório foram anotadas aproximadamente 290 ORFs. Seqüenciamentos diretamente do genoma e de clones das bibliotecas de RDA foram também realizados, complementando as metodologias de primer walking e construção de bibliotecas de fago utilizadas em outros laboratórios do projeto para o fechamento de "gaps". Todos os resultados obtidos em nosso laboratório, somados às contribuições de todos os grupos do projeto, serão base para a melhor compreensão dos mecanismos utilizados pela bactéria, podendo favorecer o desenvolvimento de novas estratégias para o combate desta praga.

Abstract in English
The São Paulo's citriculture can be considered one of the most competitive and important agroindustrial activity from Brazil. It provides aproximately 400,000 jobs and adds US$ 1,4000,000,000 for the country's economy. This activity, however, still shows less productivity than the one from Florida, mainly due to nutritional and hydric deficiencies and plagues that are already present for a long time. In the last ten years, the citrus variegated chlorosis (CVC), also known as little yellow disease, constitutes the main problem for the orange farmers. This disease is caused by gram-negative bacterium Xylella fastidiosa. Due to the importance of the orange cultive in the country, the project called Xylella fastidiosa's Genome was proposed. The main goals of this project are to sequence the entire genome of this phytopathogen and the trainning of specialized people in the use of modern techniques of molecular biology. DNA fragments cloned in 7 cosrnids and also form genomic shotgun libraries were sequenced in our laboratory. A total of 271,220 bp of bacteria genome were obtained. The next step was the annotation of the open reading frames (ORFs). This was made using the GLIMMER computer program which generates, in our laboratory, aproximately 290 ORFs. Direct sequencing of the genome and clones of RDA libraries were also done for obtaining nucleotide sequences form gaps. These methodologies complement the primer walking and phage library construction used by other laboratories included in the project. All results, obtained either by our laboratory or the other groups from the project, will be used for a better understanding of the mechanisms used by the bacteria, Altogether, they can be favor the development of new strategies in the plague combact.
