Vascular plant pathogens travel long distances through host veins, leading to life-
threatening, systemic infections. In contrast, nonvascular pathogens remain restricted to …

We describe here the construction of a delivery system for stable and directed insertion of
gene constructs in a permissive chromosomal site of the bacterial wilt pathogen Ralstonia …

Antimicrobial activity of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) has been well documented in earlier
studies. As their efficient role in combating phytopathogens has begun recently, there is a …

Stomata are leaf pores that regulate gas exchange and water transpiration in response to
environmental cues. They also function in innate immunity by limiting pathogen entry …

The plasmid pUFZ75 conferred constitutive GFP expression on the bacterial pathogen
Xanthomonas euvesicatoria (syn. X. campestris pv. vesicatoria). Colonisation of the tomato …

Clavibacter nebraskensis causes Goss's bacterial wilt and leaf blight, a major disease of
maize. Infected crop residue is the primary inoculum source and infection can occur via …

Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo) is a bacterial pathogen responsible for bacterial leaf
blight (BLB) in rice, which can result in significant yield losses of up to 70%. A study …

As molecular interactions of plants with N2‐fixing endophytes are largely uncharacterized,
we investigated whether the common signaling pathway (CSP) shared by root nodule …

Citrus canker, caused by Xanthomonas citri subsp. citri (Xcc), is a serious bacterial disease
that affects citrus production worldwide. Citron C-05 (Citrus medica) is the only germplasm in …

Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo) causesbacterial blight, which results in a severe
economic damage to rice farms. Xoo produces biofilms for pathogenesis and survival both …
