Bacterial pathogenesis of plants: future challenges from a microbial perspective: Challenges in Bacterial Molecular Plant Pathology
Plant infection is a complicated process. On encountering a plant, pathogenic microorganisms must first adapt to life on the epiphytic surface, and survive long enough to initiate an infection. Res...
Genetic differences between blight-causing Erwinia species with differing host specificities, identified by suppression subtractive hybridization
PCR-based subtractive hybridization was used to isolate sequences from Erwinia amylovora strain Ea110, which is pathogenic on apples and pears, that were not present in three closely related strain...
Genome sequence of Xanthomonas fuscans subsp fuscans strain 4834-R reveals that flagellar motility is not a general feature of xanthomonads
Xanthomonads are plant-associated bacteria responsible for diseases on economically important crops. Xanthomonas fuscans subsp. fuscans (Xff) is one of the causal agents of common bacterial blight ...
Horizontal gene transfer plays a major role in the pathological convergence of Xanthomonas lineages on common bean
Host specialization is a hallmark of numerous plant pathogens including bacteria, fungi, oomycetes and viruses. Yet, the molecular and evolutionary bases of host specificity are poorly understood. ...
Top 10 plant pathogenic bacteria in molecular plant pathology
Many plant bacteriologists, if not all, feel that their particular microbe should appear in any list of the most important bacterial plant pathogens. However, to our knowledge, no such list exists....
What makes Xanthomonas albilineans unique amongst xanthomonads?
Xanthomonas alb//means causes leaf scald, a lethal disease of sugarcane. Compared to other species ofXanthomonas, X albilineans exhibits distinctive pathogenic mechanisms, ecology and taxonomy. Its...
