“…Moreover, it secretes extracellular cell wall degrading enzymes, such as cellulase, polygalacturonase, pectate lyase, and xylanase to degrade xylem vessels and the adjacent parenchyma cells leading to induction of disease symptom ( Gartemann et al, 2008 ; Hwang et al, 2019 ). Although chemical, biological, and cultural practices might reduce bacterial canker infestation in the field ( Hausbeck et al, 2000 ), breeding for resistant cultivars is the sustainable approach in tomato ( Crino et al, 1995 ; Stüwe and von Tiedemann, 2013 ). To date, no tomato cultivar of bacterial canker resistance is commercially available and cultivated tomatoes are vulnerable to a bacterial canker disease outbreak ( Sen et al, 2015 ).…”
