Revisiting the Source of Wilt Symptoms: X-Ray Microcomputed Tomography Provides Direct Evidence That Ralstonia Biomass Clogs Xylem Vessels
Ralstonia causes wilt diseases by colonizing xylem vessels and disrupting water transport. The dogma is that bacterial biomass clogs vessels and reduces the flow of xylem sap due to Ralstonia abundance. However, the physiological mechanism of xylem disruption during bacterial wilt is untested. Using...
