Abstract excerpt
Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo), the bacterial blight pathogen of rice, harbors a single polar flagellum for motility. How the flagellar system is regulated and how it is related to bacterial pathogenesis are not well understood. The genomic sequence of Xoo strain PXO99(A) revealed a flagellar regulon containing over 60 contiguous genes. A gene encoding alternative sigma factor 54 (σ(54)), named as rpoN2, is...
