This study identifies allelic variation in the chpG effector gene as a key determinant of host range plasticity in Clavibacter michiganensis populations.

This study presents complete genome sequences of four Xanthomonas translucens pv. graminis strains, revealing high genomic plasticity and unique features associated with pathogenicity.

The paper tracks a 2022 plant pathogen outbreak, revealing a recent genome reduction event in Xanthomonas hortorum through real-time sequencing and historical isolate analysis.

This study sequenced three novel clade-1 xanthomonads using long-read sequencing, revealing unique genetic traits and potential pathogenic mechanisms.

The paper develops a multiplex PCR method to distinguish between two pathovars of Xanthomonas translucens using genome differences, validated across multiple strains.

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

The paper shows that the gene cbsA acts as a switch for vascular vs. non-vascular pathogenesis in bacteria, with its presence and absence linked to lifestyle evolution.

The paper identifies conserved rice leaf microbiome structures influenced by host-microbe interactions and host genomic regions.
