Effector loss and gain drives pathogen host range at a fitness cost

2025-09-25

Abstract excerpt

Epidemic preparedness depends on tracking microbial evolution that drives shifts in ecological behaviors such as disease emergence. However, the genetic constraints for microbial host adaptation to emerge for generalist and specialist behaviors remain poorly described. Here, we show that generalist cereal pathogen Xanthomonas translucens arose from a specialist ancestor via the loss of a single effector gene, xo...
