Abstract
pv. syringae strains isolated from mango. This transposon conferred the highest resistance to copper sulfate described to date for this bacterial phytopathogen. Understanding in depth the copper resistance mechanisms and their evolution are important steps to the agricultural industry to get a better improvement of disease management strategies.
