Induction of common bean OVATE Family Protein 7 (PvOFP7) promotes resistance to common bacterial blight

The paper induces candidate genes in common bean to identify those conferring resistance to common bacterial blight, finding that PvOFP7 significantly reduces disease symptoms.

Genetic and functional diversity help explain pathogenic, weakly pathogenic, and commensal lifestyles in the genus Xanthomonas

This study examines the genetic and functional diversity of Xanthomonas strains to understand their pathogenic, weakly pathogenic, and commensal lifestyles through genomic analysis and phylogenetic relationships.

Development of tools to detect and identify strains belonging to the Pseudomonas syringae species complex responsible for vein clearing of zucchini

The paper develops molecular tools to detect and identify Pseudomonas syringae strains causing zucchini vein clearing by designing primers and qPCR tests for specific genetic clusters.

Influence of co-occurring weakly pathogenic bacterial species on bacterial spot disease dynamics on tomato

This study examines how co-infection with weakly pathogenic bacteria affects disease severity and population dynamics of Xanthomonas perforans on tomato.

Analysis of the worldwide diversity of Xanthomonas hortorum pv. carotae, the agent of bacterial blight of carrot, reveals two distinct populations.

The paper analyzes the diversity of Xanthomonas hortorum pv. carotae strains using genetic markers and identifies two distinct populations.

Automatic detection of spatio-temporal signalling patterns in cell collectives

The paper introduces ARCOS, a computational method to detect and quantify spatio-temporal signalling patterns in cell collectives, and demonstrates its application in identifying ERK activity waves in MCF10A cells.

Suspicions of two bridgehead invasions of Xylella fastidiosa subsp. multiplex in France

The paper traces the introduction and spread of Xylella fastidiosa subsp. multiplex in France using molecular evolution rates and a new VNTR-13 scheme, suggesting two bridgehead invasions from Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur.

Metagenomic sequencing for rapid identification of Xylella fastidiosa from leaf samples

This paper develops a metagenomics pipeline for rapid, accurate identification of Xylella fastidiosa from leaf samples, detecting subspecies and strains at low concentrations.

Spatio-temporal Control of ERK Pulse Frequency Coordinates Fate Decisions during Mammary Acinar Morphogenesis

The paper shows that ERK pulse frequency controls cell fate during mammary acinar morphogenesis, with high frequency promoting survival and low frequency inducing apoptosis.

CODEX, a neural network approach to explore signaling dynamics landscapes

The paper introduces CODEX, a neural network method to analyze time-series signaling data and identify dynamic motifs in single-cell trajectories.

Development of a Nested-MultiLocus Sequence Typing approach for a highly sensitive and specific identification of Xylella fastidiosa subspecies directly from plant samples

The paper develops a nested-MLST assay to improve the sensitivity and specificity of Xylella fastidiosa subspecies identification from plant samples, achieving better detection limits and subspecies assignment.

Collective ERK/Akt activity waves orchestrate epithelial homeostasis by driving apoptosis-induced survival

The paper shows ERK/Akt activity waves from apoptotic cells protect neighboring cells and maintain epithelial homeostasis through EGFR and MMP signaling.
