Genomic insights advance the fight against black rot of crucifers

Year: 2021

Type: article

Abstract: Xanthomonas campestrispv. campestris, the causal agent of black rot of crucifers, was one of the first bacterial plant pathogens ever identified. Over 130 years later, black rot remains a threat to cabbage, cauliflower, and otherBrassicacrops around the world. Recent genomic and genetic data are informing our understanding ofX. campestristaxonomy, dissemination, inoculum sources, and virulence factors. This new knowledge promises to positively impact resistance breeding ofBrassicavarieties and management of inoculum sources.
