Bioluminescent Xanthomonas hortorum pv. gardneri as a Tool to Quantify Bacteria in Planta, Screen Germplasm, and Identify Infection Routes on Leaf Surfaces

Imaging technology can provide insight into biological processes governing plant-pathogen interactions. We created and used a bioluminescent strain of Xanthomonas hortorum pv. gardneri (Xgb) to quantify infection processes in plants using tomato as a model. An X. hortorum pv. gardneri is one of the...
