Engineering the bacterial nutrition strategy to control plant diseases
This commentary on Wang et al. (2025) and Phan et al. (2025) highlights previously undiscovered Xanthomonas pathways for nutrition acquisition, explains how Xanthomonas bacteria hijack host molecular machinery through their effector proteins, and discusses how these studies can be used to develop new disease resistance mechanisms.

Antimicrobial activity of Epsilon-Poly-l-lysine against phytopathogenic bacteria
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are components of immune defense in many organisms, including plants. They combat pathogens due to their antiviral, antifungal and antibacterial properties, and are considered potential therapeutic agents.

Investigating the population structure of Xanthomonas citri pv. citri. Which molecular markers to use to distinguish between low polymorphic bacterial populations? : [P-96] [PDF]
Comprehensive knowledge of pathogen population structures is crucial to understand the epidemiology and history of infectious diseases, but such data is largely unavailable for plant pathogenic bacteria.

ABSTRACT Plant viruses drive widespread crop epidemics, yet the host plant responses across different cell types, particularly how these responses are influenced by cultivars with varying genetic backgrounds, including the presence of resistance (R) genes, remain poorly understood. Using tomato brown rugose fruit virus (ToBRFV) and two tomato cultivars,

Epidemiological Markers for Citrus Canker caused by Xanthomonas citri pv. citri
Climatic factors have a significant impact on the growth and development of citrus canker disease, which is one of the biggest threats to the citrus industry caused by the bacterium Xanthomonas citri pv. citri (Xcc). The growth stage, host sensitivity, succulence, vigour, survival, rate of multiplication, pathogen dispersal direction, rate of spore ...

CitPH4 Confers Resistance to Citrus Canker by Activating Papain‐Like Cysteine Protease
ABSTRACT Citrus canker, a devastating disease caused by Xanthomonas citri subsp. citri (Xcc), poses a significant threat to global citrus production due to the high susceptibility of nearly all commercial citrus cultivars to it. Although transcription factor Citrus PH4 (CitPH4) is well known for regulating fruit acidity, its potential role in plant ...
