Comparative Genomic Analysis Uncovered Evolution of Pathogenicity Factors, Horizontal Gene Transfer Events, and Heavy Metal Resistance Traits in Citrus Canker Bacterium Xanthomonas citri subsp. citri

Comparative Genomic Analysis Uncovered Evolution of Pathogenicity Factors, Horizontal Gene Transfer Events, and Heavy Metal Resistance Traits in Citrus Canker Bacterium Xanthomonas citri subsp. citri

Background: Worldwide citrus production is severely threatened by Asiatic citrus canker which is caused by the proteobacterium Xanthomonas citri subsp. citri. Foliar sprays of copper-based bactericides are frequently used to control plant bacterial diseases. Despite the sequencing of many X. citri s...
