In vitro , in planta, and comparative genomic analyses of Pseudomonas syringae pv. syringae strains of pepper ( Capsicum annuum var. annuum ).

in peppers, including virulence and antimicrobial gene content. Our study helps pave a path to further identify the role of specific virulence genes in causing disease in peppers, which can have implications in developing strategies to effectively control PLS in peppers.
