Complementary roles of EPS, T3SS and Expansin for virulence of <i>Erwinia tracheiphila</i> , the causative agent of cucurbit wilt
2024-06-24
Abstract excerpt
Erwinia tracheiphila (Smith) is a recently emerged plant pathogen that causes severe economic losses in cucurbit crops in temperate Eastern North America. E. tracheiphila is xylem restricted, and virulence is thought to be related to Exopolysaccharides (EPS) and biofilm formation, which occlude the passage of sap in xylem vessels and causes systemic wilt.
