Abstract

Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris, the explanation for disease of crucifers, was one of the first bacterial plant pathogens ever identified. Over 130 years later, disease remains a threat to cabbage, cauliflower, and other Brassica crops around the world. Recent genomic and genetic data are informing our understanding of X. campestris taxonomy, dissemination, inoculum sources, and virulence factors. This new knowledge promises to positively impact resistance breeding of Brassica varieties and management of inoculum sources.
