Tomato brown rugose fruit virus and pepino mosaic virus differentially modulate disease severity of bacterial pith necrosis and bacterial canker in tomato

This study shows that ToBRFV and PepMV differentially affect bacterial disease severity in tomatoes, either increasing or decreasing symptom expression depending on the pathogen.

Tissue-Specific Experimental Evolution Reveals Adaptive Trade-Offs in the Plant Vascular Pathogen Clavibacter michiganensis

This study uses tissue-specific experimental evolution to identify adaptive traits in Clavibacter michiganensis, revealing trade-offs between vascular persistence and systemic virulence.
