Clonal expansion from standing genetic variation underpins the evolution of an emerging plant pathogen in Australia

Adam Sparks, Dante L. Adorada, Elena Colombi…·Niloofar Vaghefi

This study shows that clonal expansion from existing genetic variation, not new genotypes, has driven the evolution of Curtobacterium flaccumfaciens pv. flaccumfaciens in Australia since the 1980s.
