Beneath the Bark: Molecular Determinants of Adaptation and Infection in Bacterial Pathogens of Woody Hosts

Bacterial pathogens of woody plants represent a pervasive yet underexplored threat to global agriculture and forestry, causing devastating diseases in fruit trees, shrubs, forest trees and ornamental species. Unlike pathogens of herbaceous plants, the molecular strategies enabling bacteria to colonise and damage woody...
