Functional characterization and transcriptome analysis reveal multiple roles for prc in the pathogenicity of the black rot pathogen Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris.

Abstract excerpt

Gram-negative phytopathogenic Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris (Xcc) is the causal agent of black rot in crucifers. The ability of Xcc to incite this disease in plants depends on a number of factors, including exopolysaccharides, extracellular enzymes and biofilm production. In this study, transposon mutagenesis led to identification of the prc gene, encoding a tail-specific protease, which plays a role in...
