Summary

A comparative analysis of secretion-system and surface-structure genes showed that the XauB and XauC genomes lack several key genes in pathogenicity-related subsystems, and these subsystems emerge as important ones in helping explain the aggressiveness of the A type of citrus canker and the apparent dominance in the field of the corresponding strain over the B and C strains.
