Ralstonia solanacearum species complex (RSSC) is a diverse group of plant pathogens that attack a wide range of hosts and cause devastating losses worldwide. In this study, we conducted a comprehensive analysis of 131 RSSC strains to detect their genetic diversity, pathogenicity, and evolution dynam...
