This study shows that Burkholderia gladioli pv. alliicola detoxifies thiosulfinates during onion bulb infection but not foliar infection, using a reporter strain to track exposure.

This study shows that CvsR in Pseudomonas syringae regulates a small core gene set in planta, with most transcriptional changes due to host immune responses rather than direct CvsR control.

This study identifies AltR, a transcription factor in Pantoea ananatis, which regulates thiosulfinate tolerance and pathogenicity in response to plant-derived antimicrobials.

This paper uses NLP-like deep learning to identify and validate novel allicin tolerance gene clusters in bacteria, improving detection of underrepresented clusters.

This study analyzes 38 Pantoea allii strains from plants and water across three continents to identify lineage-specific virulence genes and conserved competitive traits.

This study identifies proteomic changes in the Arabidopsis apoplast during pattern-triggered immunity induced by flg22, revealing enriched and depleted proteins and exosome involvement.

This study identifies distinct virulence mechanisms of Burkholderia gladioli in onion foliar and bulb scale tissues, showing different factors contribute to tissue-specific symptoms.

This study identifies plasmids encoding pathogenicity factors in Pantoea agglomerans, showing they can transform non-pathogenic strains into onion pathogens.

This study uses pan-genome-wide association analysis to identify genes linked to pathogenicity in Pantoea ananatis, revealing both known and novel genes associated with onion infection.
