Genomic Biosurveillance of the Kiwifruit Pathogen Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae Biovar 3 Reveals Adaptation to Selective Pressures in New Zealand Orchards. [PDF]
A hopF1c effector loss variant has emerged in commercial kiwifruit orchards, mediated by the introduction of copper resistance elements into the population. ABSTRACT In the late 2000s, a pandemic of Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae biovar 3 (Psa3) devastated kiwifruit orchards growing susceptible, yellow‐fleshed cultivars.
