Abstract excerpt
Bacterial wilt (brown rot) disease of potato caused by Ralstonia solanacearum is one of the most important bacterial diseases and a major constraint on potato production worldwide. Through a comparative genomic analysis between R. solanacearum'race 3 biovar 2' (R3bv2) strains, we identified a 77 kb region in strain UW551 which is specifically absent in the hypoaggressive strain IPO1609. We proved that IPO1609...
