Pathogenicity and virulence of Ralstonia solanacearum species complex: Understanding its virulence mechanisms for proper management

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: QS network is a highly complex regulatory system that dominates global gene expression and finely tunes RSSC virulence throughout the infection process, from root epidermis invasion to colonization of xylem vessels. Finally, we identify key knowledge gaps and discuss future research directions and practical strategies for the effective management of bacterial wilt.
