Xanthomonas spp. encompass a wide range of plant pathogens that use numerous
virulence factors for pathogenicity and fitness in plant hosts. In this Review, we examine …

Xanthomonas is a well-studied genus of bacterial plant pathogens whose members cause a
variety of diseases in economically important crops worldwide. Genomic and functional …

Xanthomonas is a large genus of Gram-negative bacteria that cause disease in hundreds of
plant hosts, including many economically important crops. Pathogenic species and …

Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. dieffenbachiae (Xad) is the causal agent of anthurium
bacterial blight and listed as an A2 quarantine organism by EPPO. However, the name Xad …

Closely related pathogens may differ dramatically in host range, but the molecular, genetic,

bacterial wilt disease in many food crops and is a major problem for agriculture in …

How pathogens coevolve with and adapt to their hosts are critical to understanding how host
jumps and/or acquisition of novel traits can lead to new disease emergences. The …

The genus Trichoderma contains fungi with high relevance for humans, with applications in
enzyme production for plant cell wall degradation and use in biocontrol. Here, we provide a …

Diverse Gram-negative pathogens like Pseudomonas syringae employ type III secreted
effector (T3SE) proteins as primary virulence factors that combat host immunity and promote …

Many plant pathogens subvert host immunity by injecting compositionally diverse but
functionally similar repertoires of cytoplasmic effector proteins. The bacterial pathogen …
