Abstract Ralstonia pseudosolanacearum, a plant pathogen responsible for bacterial wilt in numerous plant species, exhibits paradoxical growth in the host by achieving high bacterial densities in xylem sap, an environment traditionally considered nutrient-poor. This study combined in vitro experiments and mathematical modeling to elucidate the growth dynamics of R. pseudosolanacearum strain GMI1000 within plants.

New Results doi: https://doi.org/10.1101/2023.01.09.523232 Abstract All the strains grouped under the species Ralstonia solanacearum represent a species complex which collectively constitute a devastating plant pathogen responsible of many diseases on agricultural crops throughout the world. The strains have different lifestyles and host range. Here we sought whether specific metabolic pathways contribute to strain diversification.
