A genome-wide scan for genes under balancing selection in the plant pathogen Ralstonia solanacearum

Abstract Background Plant pathogens are under significant selective pressure by the plant host. Consequently, they are expected to have adapted to this condition or contribute to evading plant defenses. In order to acquire long-term fitness, plant bacterial pathogens are usually forced to maintain a...
