Allelic Diversity and Core Conservation of Type III Effectors Across Xanthomonads Causing Bacterial Spot of Pepper and Tomato
Bacterial spot of tomato and pepper (BST/P) is an economically devastating disease caused by four distinct Xanthomonas pathogens: X. euvesicatoria pv. euvesicatoria (Xe), X. euvesicatoria pv. perforans (Xp), X. hortorum pv. gardneri (Xg), and X. vesicatoria (Xv). A key component of virulence in these pathogens is the type III secretion system (T3SS), which delivers type III effector (T3E)…
