Multiple Recombination Events Drive the Current Genetic Structure of Xanthomonas perforans in Florida

Multiple Recombination Events Drive the Current Genetic Structure of Xanthomonas perforans in Florida

Prior to the identification of Xanthomonas perforans associated with bacterial spot of tomato in 1991, X. euvesicatoria was the only known species in Florida. Currently, X. perforans is the Xanthomonas sp. associated with tomato in Florida. Changes in pathogenic race and sequence alleles over time s...
