Deciphering Kiwifruit Bacterial Canker: Molecular Insights, Host–Pathogen Dynamics, and Innovative Management Strategies
Kiwifruit bacterial canker, caused by Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae (Psa), severely threatens global kiwifruit production. Psa uses type III secretion, effectors, biofilms, and hormone manipulation to suppress the host immunity and achieve successful colonization. In response, kiwifruit activates multilayered d...
