GENETIC DISTANCE MAY UNDERLIE VIRULENCE DIFFERENCES AMONG ISOLATES OF A BACTERIAL PLANT PATHOGEN

Certain pathogens evolve with their hosts in a stepwise arms race of virulence and resistance, mediated by one or a few genetic loci in their genomes. Other pathogens may retain the ability to colo...

Horizontal gene transfer plays a major role in the pathological convergence of Xanthomonas lineages on common bean

Host specialization is a hallmark of numerous plant pathogens including bacteria, fungi, oomycetes and viruses. Yet, the molecular and evolutionary bases of host specificity are poorly understood. ...
