Characterization of Effector Genes in Acidovorax citrulli the Causing Agent of Bacteria Fruit Blotch Disease of Cucurbits
Bacterial fruit blotch (BFB) of cucurbits is caused by Acidovorax citrulli, a Gram-negative seedborne bacterium that can cause up to 100% fruit yield losses in the field. Currently, BFB is a major problem for the cucurbits industry worldwide. Thus far, attempts to identify resistance in cucurbit …
