“…The latter is the most effective among the control measures. Several studies have aimed to understand the interaction between Capsicum and Xanthomonas (Jones et al, 2004;Vallejos et al, 2010;Ryan et al, 2011;Potnis et al, 2012), seeking for resistance sources (Costa et al, 2002;Riva-Souza et al, 2009;Moreira et al, 2013) by characterization of the gene expression (Jones et al, 1998;Riva et al, 2004b;Kiss et al, 2016), genetic inheritance (Riva et al, 2004a), developing molecular markers for resistance genes (Holdsworth and Mazourek, 2015), and use of transgenics (Zipfel and Jones, 2015). Despite these studies, few pure line cultivars that are resistant to BS are available in the seed market.…”
