Diverse Pseudomonas species engage in beneficial and suppressive interactions with the kiwifruit pathogen Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae across Actinidia germplasm
Through metabarcoding, targeted isolation, and whole genome sequencing, we identified diverse Pseudomonads that appear to interact with Psa across kiwifruit germplasm.

Genomic biosurveillance of the kiwifruit pathogen Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae biovar 3 reveals adaptation to selective pressures in New Zealand orchards
Genome biosurveillance of 500 Psa3 isolates over a 12-year period has revealed the emergence of hopF1c loss variants, mediated by the introduction of copper resistance elements into the population.
