Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Xanthomonas arboricola (Xar) is a phytopathogenic bacterial species responsible for economically significant diseases in a wide range of plants, including agricultural, ornamental, and forest species. This study aimed to investigate the genomic basis of host specificity, adaptation, and virulence in Xar through comprehensive comparative genomics. RESULTS: A total of 177 genomes from nine Xar pathovars...
