Citrus Canker Pathogen, Its Mechanism of Infection, Eradication, and Impacts [PDF]
Plants, 2022 Citrus canker is a ravaging bacterial disease threatening citrus crops. Its major types are Asiatic Canker, Cancrosis B, and Cancrosis C, caused by Xanthomonas citri pv. citri (Xcc), Xanthomonas citri pv. aurantifolii pathotype-B (XauB), and pathotype-C (
