Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris (XANTCA) is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium known for causing black rot disease in Brassica family plants, including cabbage, broccoli, and cauliflower. This pathogen typically
enters the host through hydathodes (leaf margin pores) or wounds caused by insect feeding, hail damage, or mechanical injury. It spreads via infected plant debris, contaminated seeds, rain splash, and agricultural tools. Symptoms include
characteristic V-shaped yellow lesions with necrotic borders on leaves, blackening of veins, and ultimately extensive rot and plant death. There’s no cure; control
focuses on using disease-free seeds/plants, resistant varieties, and good sanitation.
