Tissue-Specific Experimental Evolution Reveals Adaptive Trade-Offs in the Plant Vascular Pathogen <i>Clavibacter michiganensis</i>
2025-10-06
Abstract excerpt
The plant pathogenic bacterium Clavibacter michiganensis (Cm) is a systemic vascular pathogen that colonizes both xylem vessels and the intracellular apoplast during different stages of infection. To identify traits and loci associated with adaptation to these distinct host microenvironments, we conducted tissue-specific experimental evolution. Twenty independent Cm lineages were repeatedly passaged in either tom...
