Mobile genetic elements accompany the emergence of clonal crop lineages from weed-associated populations of Xanthomonas campestris

Cole R. Sawyer, Zoë E. Dubrow, Sara C. D. Carpenter, Miles Buddy, Paul C. Owen-Smith, Adam Joseph Bogdanove, Christine D. Smart, Michael R. Fulcher, Matthew Tancos

The paper analyzes Xanthomonas campestris strains from weed and crop hosts to show that mobile genetic elements accompany the emergence of clonal crop lineages and are present in diverse weed-associated strains.

Lifestyle-associated variation in type IV secretion systems between phytopathogenic and environmental Ralstonia

Tabitha C. Cowell, Matthew L. Cope-Arguello, Gi Yoon Shin, Adam Joseph Bogdanove, Sara C. D. Carpenter, Kamrun Nahar, APURBA SAHA, Tiffany M. Lowe‐Power

This study compares T4SS diversity between phytopathogenic and environmental Ralstonia species, finding more T4SS clusters in environmental strains and identifying a specialized cluster in phytopathogens.

A PthXo2B ortholog in Xanthomonas oryzae pv oryzae strain IX-221 acts as a major virulence factor on indica rice without activating a Clade III SWEET gene.

Prashant Kumar Mishra, S. Shakespear, Sara C. D. Carpenter, S. Hamsa, S. Vigi, K. N. Anith, Prasanta Kumar Dash, Adam Joseph Bogdanove, Rhitu Rai

This paper identifies a TALE variant in Xoo strain IX-221 that overcomes xa13 resistance in indica rice by upregulating an alternative SWEET gene, highlighting non-RVD sequence variation in TALE targeting.

Activation of three targets by a TAL effector confers susceptibility to bacterial blight of cotton

Brendan Mormile, Yan Yan, Taran Bauer, Li Wang, Rachel C. Rivero, Sara C. D. Carpenter, Catherine Danmaigona Clement, Kevin L. Cox, Lin Zhang, Xiyu Ma, Terry A. Wheeler, Jane K. Dever, Ping He, Adam Joseph Bogdanove, Libo Shan

The paper identifies a newly evolved TALE, Tal7b, that activates multiple GhSWEET genes in cotton, contributing to bacterial blight susceptibility.
