Key Players in Pierce’s Disease Development in Grapevines
Description
This template was adapted from the original submission. Edits were made to enhance scientific accuracy, optimal usability and/or to meet industry-leading design standards for science communication.
Pierce’s disease (PD) in grapevine is caused by the bacterium X fastidiosa. When infected by X fastidiosa, PD develops in grapevines upon two key triggers: (1) secretion of virulence factors by X. fastidiosa through its type II secretion system and outer membrane vesicles, and (2) occlusion of water transport by X. fastidiosa biofilm formation.
