This study examines the relationship between bacterial canker susceptibility and frost sensitivity in apricot trees by analyzing cultivar differences and environmental factors.

This study shows that loss of the inaZ gene, which enables ice nucleation activity, restricts bacterial dispersal and leads to genetic and ecological isolation.

The paper investigates phage-bacterial interactions in plant agroecosystems, finding nested network structures and phylogeny-driven defense systems.

This study examines the thermosensitive behaviors of the T3SS in Pseudomonas syringae strains, showing strain-specific temperature dependencies in effector injection and highlighting the importance of environmental factors in plant-bacteria interactions.

This study isolates and characterizes 25 new phages infecting Pseudomonas syringae, revealing genetic diversity and potential auxiliary metabolic genes.
