Recently emerged and diverse lineages of Xanthomonas perforans have independently evolved through plasmid acquisition and homologous recombination originating from multiple Xanthomonas species
Abstract:0Xanthomonas perforans is the predominant pathogen responsible for bacterial leaf spot of tomato 1 1 and X. euvesicatoria of pepper in the southeast United States. Previous studies have indicated 1 2 significant changes in the X. perforans population collected from Florida tomato fields over the 1 3 span of two decades including a shift in race, diversification into three genetic groups, and host 1 4 range expansion to pepper. Recombination originating from X. euvesicatoria was identified as 1 5 the primary fa… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
