Xylella fastidiosa Requires the Type II Secretion System for Pathogenicity and Survival in Grapevine
Xylella fastidiosa is a xylem-limited bacterial pathogen that causes Pierce's disease (PD) of grapevine. In host plants, this bacterium exclusively colonizes the xylem, which is primarily non-living at maturity. Understanding how X. fastidiosa interfaces with this specialized conductive tissue...
