Recently emerged and diverse lineages of Xanthomonas perforans have independently evolved through plasmid acquisition and homologous recombination originating from multiple Xanthomonas species

Eric A. Newberry, Rishi Bhandari, Gerald V. Minsavage…·Neha Potnis

This study identifies two novel genetic groups of Xanthomonas perforans in Alabama, each with distinct effector proteins associated with host range expansion and pathogenicity.
