The paper constructs a genome-scale metabolic model of the Ralstonia pseudosolanacearum-tomato pathosystem to quantify trophic interactions during infection, revealing key constraints on bacterial growth and plant responses.

This study uses mathematical modeling and in vitro experiments to show that xylem sap supports high bacterial densities of R. pseudosolanacearum by utilizing glutamine and excreting putrescine.

This study shows epigenetic variation, specifically DNA methylation, contributes to rapid adaptation of the plant pathogen Ralstonia solanacearum to host plants.

The paper compares metabolic pathways across 11 Ralstonia solanacearum strains to identify differences contributing to strain diversification and pathogenicity.

This study investigates how host re-infection affects pathogen founding population size, showing that increased temperature reduces founding population size by limiting subsequent re-infection contributions.
