Comparative genomic analysis uncovered phylogenetic diversity, evolution of virulence factors, and horizontal gene transfer events in tomato bacterial spot Xanthomonas euvesicatoria
This study highlights the critical roles of horizontal gene transfer and plasmids in shaping the genetic makeup, evolution, and environmental adaptation of plant pathogenic xanthomonads. The identification of a new genomovar, <i>X. euvesicatoria</i> genomovar <i>taiwanensis</i>, provides insights into the diversity and global spread of bacterial spot pathogens through seed trade.
