Cultivar-specific responses of the citrus endophytic microbiome to Xanthomonas citri subsp. citri infection reveals Lysobacter as a key biocontrol taxon
This work provides a comprehensive understanding of how endophytic microbiomes differ between resistant and susceptible citrus cultivars, suggesting new avenues for developing sustainable biocontrol strategies to manage citrus canker. These findings underscore the potential of endophytes in mitigating plant diseases and advancing the application of microbiome-based interventions in agriculture.
