A delivery system for field application of paratransgenic control
As an alternative to chemical pesticides, paratransgenesis relies on transformation of symbiotic bacteria of an arthropod vector to deliver molecules that disrupt pathogen transmission. For over a ...
Genome rearrangement distances and gene order phylogeny in gamma-proteobacteria
Genome rearrangements have been studied in 30 gamma-proteobacterial complete genomes by comparing the order of a reduced set of genes on the chromosome. This set included those genes fulfilling sev...
Metabolic complementarity and genomics of the dual bacterial symbiosis of sharpshooters
Mutualistic intracellular symbiosis between bacteria and insects is a widespread phenomenon that has contributed to the global success of insects. The symbionts, by provisioning nutrients lacking f...
Plant-bacterium interactions analyzed by proteomics
The evolution of the plant immune response has resulted in a highly effective defense system that is able to resist potential attack by microbial pathogens. The primary immune response is referred ...
The diversity of citrus endophytic bacteria and their interactions with Xylella fastidiosa and host plants
The bacterium Xylella fastidiosa is the causal agent of citrus variegated chlorosis (CVC) and has been associated with important losses in commercial orchards of all sweet orange [Citrus sinensis (...
