This study predicts cacao resistance to Phytophthora megakarya using genomic data, finding that host genomic relationships are more predictive than pathogen relatedness in a structured host-pathogen system.

This study evaluates cacao pod resistance to black pod disease caused by three Phytophthora species using lesion size and expansion data from 25 clones and 13 isolates.

This study shows that seed microbiome transfer can restore disease resistance and microbiome function in tomato progeny affected by parental antibiotic-induced dysbiosis.

The paper characterizes type III effector diversity and conservation across Xanthomonas pathogens causing bacterial spot of pepper and tomato, revealing core effectors and population-specific variation.

This study shows how antibiotics and copper alter compartment-specific microbiomes in tomato plants, increasing susceptibility to disease by disrupting microbial functions and community structure.

This study evaluates whether targeted probiotic cyanobacteria or microbiome transplants can mitigate antibiotic-induced rhizosphere dysbiosis and improve plant resilience.

The paper tracks population shifts between Xanthomonas species during tomato bacterial spot outbreaks and identifies a new species, Xanthomonas oklahomensis.

This study analyzes the global genetic diversity and evolution of Xanthomonas euvesicatoria pv. perforans, revealing population structure and effector gene variation linked to its spread as a tomato pathogen.

This study examines how rhizosphere dysbiosis affects above-ground plant health in tomato plants by comparing antibiotic-treated and microbiome-transplanted plants infected with Xanthomonas perforans.

The paper identifies GTA clusters in plant pathogenic bacteria and shows that GTA-positive strains have higher recombination rates.
