Light modulates important physiological features of Ralstonia pseudosolanacearum during the colonization of tomato plants

Abstract Ralstonia pseudosolanacearum GMI1000 (Rpso GMI1000) is a soil-borne vascular phytopathogen that infects host plants through the root system causing wilting disease in a wide range of agro-economic interest crops, producing economical losses. Several features contribute to the full bacterial...
