Comparative genomics, pangenomics, and phenomic studies of strains isolated from sugar beet, potato, sunflower, and artichoke: insights into pathogenicity, virulence determinants, and adaptation to the host plant.

Introduction: Bacteria of genus , encompassing economically significant pathogens affecting various plants, includes the species , initially associated with beetroot infection. However, its host range is much broader. It causes diseases of sunflower, potato, tomato, carrots, sweet potato, radish, squash, cucumber, and chrysanthemum.
