The group of strains constituting the Ralstonia solanacearum species complex (RSSC) is a
prominent model for the study of plant-pathogenic bacteria because of its impact on …

Plant diseases caused by soilborne pathogens are a major limiting factor in crop production.
Bacterial wilt disease, caused by soilborne bacteria in the Ralstonia solanacearum Species …

Successful infection by pathogenic microbes requires effective acquisition of nutrients from
their hosts. Root and stem rot caused by Phytophthora sojae is one of the most important …

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 …

The Pseudomonas genus has shown great potential as a sustainable solution to support
agriculture through its plant-growth-promoting and biocontrol activities. However, their …

Plant microbiomes are assembled and modified through a complex milieu of biotic and
abiotic factors. Despite dynamic and fluctuating contributing variables, specific host …

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 …

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 …

A group of aggressive pathogens have evolved to colonize the plant xylem. In this vascular
tissue, where water and nutrients are transported from the roots to the rest of the plant …

The plant pathogen Ralstonia solanacearum uses plant resources to intensely proliferate in
xylem vessels and provoke plant wilting. We combined automatic phenotyping and …
