Live tracking of a plant pathogen outbreak reveals rapid and successive, multidecade plasmid reduction

ABSTRACTQuickly understanding the genomic changes that lead to pathogen emergence is necessary to launch mitigation efforts and reduce harm. In this study, we tracked in real time a 2022 bacterial plant disease outbreak in U.S. geraniums (Pelargonium × hortorum) caused by Xhp2022, a novel lineage of...
