Induced ligno-suberin vascular coating and tyramine-derived hydroxycinnamic acid amides restrict Ralstonia solanacearum colonization in resistant tomato (vol 234, pg 1411, 2022)

Summary: Tomato varieties resistant to the bacterial wilt pathogen can restrict bacterial movement by forming vascular coatings composed of ligno-suberin and tyramine-derived hydroxycinnamic acid amides. Overexpressing genes of the ligno-suberin pathway in susceptible tomato varieties enhances resistance to the pathogen.
