Acidovorax avenae subsp. avenae (Aaa) is the causal agent of red stripe in sugarcane, a disease characterized by two forms: leaf stripe and top rot. Despite the importance of this disease, little is known about Aaa virulence factors (VFs) and their function in the infection process. Among the differ...
