This study establishes a protocol for hydathode infection by Xtt in barley, causing bacterial blight symptoms and mimicking natural infection.

This study identifies three susceptibility genes in cauliflower that contribute to disease caused by Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris through Tal12a-mediated transcriptional changes.

The paper shows that extracellular water status limits pathogen growth during both compatible and incompatible plant immune interactions, reframing the hypersensitive response as a desiccation mechanism.

The paper shows hydathodes are both entry points for pathogens and critical for limiting their spread in plant leaves.

This study identifies a genetic network controlling hydathode formation and links it to leaf morphogenesis, showing hydathodes maintain water homeostasis by preventing leaf flooding.

This study shows that gene loss and gain in Xanthomonas translucens drive host range shifts, with fitness costs for generalist behavior and enhanced virulence for specialist behavior.

This study identifies a metabolite, glucuronyl-mannose, that confers salt tolerance in Arabidopsis thaliana from Cape Verde Islands, evolving independently in two islands through mutations in the same gene.

This study uses transcriptomics to compare the HrpG regulon across 17 Xanthomonas strains, revealing diverse gene regulation beyond the T3SS and T3Es.
