  abstract = {{B}acterial leaf streak ({BLS}) is a disease of monocot plants caused by {X}anthomonas translucens on small grains, {X}. vasicola on maize and sorghum, and {X}. oryzae on rice. {T}hese three pathogens cause remarkably similar symptomology in their host plants. {D}espite causing similar symptoms, {BLS} pathogens are dispersed throughout the larger {X}anthomonas phylogeny. {E}ach aforementioned species includes strain groups that do not cause {BLS} and instead cause vascular disease. {I}n this commentary, we hypothesize that strains of {X}. translucens, {X}. vasicola, and {X}. oryzae convergently evolved to cause {BLS} due to shared evolutionary pressures. {W}e examined the diversity of secreted effectors, which may be important virulence factors for {BLS} pathogens and their evolution. {W}e discuss evidence that differences in gene regulation and abilities to manipulate plant hormones may also separate {BLS} pathogens from other {X}anthomonas species or pathovars. {BLS} is becoming an increasing issue across the three pathosystems. {O}verall, we hope that a better understanding of conserved mechanisms used by {BLS} pathogens will enable researchers to translate findings across production systems and guide approaches to control this (re)emerging threat.},
