Horizontal gene transfer plays a major role in the pathological convergence of Xanthomonas lineages on common bean

Abstract Background Host specialization is a hallmark of numerous plant pathogens including bacteria, fungi, oomycetes and viruses. Yet, the molecular and evolutionary bases of host specificity are poorly understood. In some cases, pathological convergence is observed for individuals belonging to di...
