This study shows how pathogen genetic diversity and climatic variation interact to influence disease outbreaks in agricultural settings using high-resolution sequencing and analysis.

This study examines how elevated ozone stress affects the eco-evolutionary dynamics of Xanthomonas perforans on resistant and susceptible pepper cultivars, revealing increased disease severity and pathogen population heterogeneity.

This study identifies two novel genetic groups of Xanthomonas perforans in Alabama, each with distinct effector proteins associated with host range expansion and pathogenicity.
