Multilocus Sequence Typing and Whole Genome Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms reveal phylogenetic diversity and population structure of <i>Xanthomonas citri</i> subsp. <i>citri</i>
The MLST scheme developed in this study provides a reliable framework for identifying and tracking Xcc strains, while wgSNP analysis offers enhanced resolution for fine-scale epidemiological studies. Together, these approaches highlight the geographic structuring of Xcc populations, thereby advancing understanding of the pathogen's evolutionary dynamics and spread.
