Globally, Ralstonia solanacearum (Smith) is ranked one of the most destructive bacterial
pathogens inducing rapid and fatal wilting symptoms on tomatoes. Yield losses on tomatoes …

SUMMARY A major challenge in global crop production is mitigating yield loss due to plant
diseases. One of the best strategies to control these losses is through breeding for disease …

Plant disease limits crop production, and host genetic resistance is a major means of control.
Plant pathogenic Ralstonia causes bacterial wilt disease and is best controlled with resistant …

Ralstonia solanacearum species complex (RSSC) strains are plant pathogens that produce
lipopeptides (ralstonins and ralstoamides) by the polyketide synthase–nonribosomal …
