Distinctiveness of genes contributing to growth of Pseudomonas syringae in diverse host plant species
by Tyler C. Helmann, Adam M. Deutschbauer, Steven E. Lindow
A variety of traits are necessary for bacterial colonization of the interior of plant hosts, including well-studied virulence effectors as well as other phenotypes contributing to bacterial growth and survival within the apoplast. High-throughput methods such as transposon sequencing (TnSeq) are powerful tools to identify such genes in bacterial pathogens. However, there is little information as to the distinctiveness of traits required... Читать дальше...
