Plant-pathogenic Ralstonia spp. colonize plant xylem and cause wilt diseases on a broad
range of host plants. To identify genes that promote growth of diverse Ralstonia strains in …

Ralstonia solanacearum causes bacterial wilt disease, leading to severe crop losses. Xylem
sap from R. solanacearum-infected tomato is enriched in the disaccharide trehalose. Water …

Xanthomonas species, Pseudomonas syringae and Ralstonia species are bacterial plant
pathogens that cause significant yield loss in many crop species. Generating disease …

Ralstonia causes wilt diseases by colonizing xylem vessels and disrupting water transport.
The dogma is that bacterial biomass clogs vessels and reduces the flow of xylem sap due to …

Adhesins (adhes ive prote ins) help bacteria stick to and colonize diverse surfaces and often
contribute to virulence. The genome of the bacterial wilt pathogen Ralstonia solanacearum …

A biofilm lifestyle is critical for bacterial pathogens to colonize and protect themselves from
host immunity and antimicrobial chemicals in plants and animals. The formation and …

Ralstonia solanacearum is one of the globally significant plant pathogens that infect a wide
host range of economically important plants. A study was conducted to evaluate the …

The soilborne pathogen Ralstonia solanacearum causes a lethal bacterial wilt disease of
tomato and many other crops by infecting host roots, then colonizing the water-transporting …

Bacterial pathogens in the Ralstonia solanacearum species complex (RSSC) infect the
water-transporting xylem vessels of plants, causing bacterial wilt disease. Strains in RSSC …

The xylem-dwelling plant pathogen Ralstonia solanacearum changes the chemical
composition of host xylem sap during bacterial wilt disease. The disaccharide trehalose …
