How a bacterium overcomes a tomato plant's defenses and causes disease, by sneakily disabling the plant's intruder detection systems, is revealed in new research in Current Biology. The new study focuses on a pathogen which causes bacterial speck disease in tomato plants. This bacterial invasion causes black lesions on leaves and fruit. Researchers believe that understanding more about how this microbe works could lead to new ways of tackling it.    (source: sciencedaily.com)
