Comparative genome analysis of rice-pathogenic Burkholderia provides insight into capacity to adapt to different environments and hosts
5 May 2015
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: In addition to human and animal diseases, bacteria of the genus Burkholderia can cause plant diseases. The representative species of rice-pathogenic Burkholderia are Burkholderia glumae, B. gladioli, and B. plantarii, which primarily cause grain rot, sheath rot, and seedling blight, respectively, resulting in severe reductions in rice production. Though Burkholderia rice pathogens cause problems in...
