  abstract = {{B}acterial leaf streak and black chaff are important bacterial diseases of wheat, which have been reported to be caused by {X}anthomonas translucens. {I}n 2016, symptoms of bacterial leaf streak and black chaff were observed in {A}lgeria, at experimental wheat breeding stations and in farmers' fields under sprinkler irrigation on two wheat cultivars, '{H}iddab' and '{S}imeto'. {Y}ellow {X}anthomonas-like bacterial colonies were isolated from plant material, including leaves, spikes and post-harvest crop residues. {I}nitial characterisation using biochemical, physiological and pathogenicity tests identified the bacteria as {X}anthomonas. {D}iagnostic {PCR} targeting the 16{S}-23{S} r{RNA} intergenic region indicated that the strains were {X}. translucens, a clade-1 xanthomonad. {H}owever, partial {DNA} sequences of the housekeeping genes gyr{B} and rpo{D} revealed that the strains belong to clade 1, but likely represent a new {X}anthomonas species that has not been previously described on wheat or other {G}ramineae. {T}he most closely related strain, {NCPPB} 2654, was isolated from a bean plant in the {U}nited {K}ingdom in 1974. {F}urther characterization is required to clarify the taxonomic status of the {A}lgerian {X}anthomonas isolates from wheat, and to determine their host ranges and impacts on plant cultivation.},
