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.

This study identifies three susceptibility genes in cauliflower that contribute to disease caused by Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris through Tal12a-mediated transcriptional changes.

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.

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.

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

The paper identifies a novel class of sRNAs in rice induced by bacterial infection, which may play a role in plant-microbe interactions.

This paper presents the first genome assembly of the giant sequoia, enabling analysis of disease resistance genes for conservation and evolutionary studies.
