The metabolic shift in highly and weakly virulent Dickeya solani strains is more affected by temperature than by mutations in genes encoding global virulence regulators.

Abstract excerpt

Global warming may shortly increase the risk of disease development on plants. Significant differences in the metabolic activity screened with Phenotype Microarray at 22°C and 28°C were observed between D. solani strains with high and low virulence level. Highly virulent D. solani was characterized by a higher number of metabolized compounds and a faster metabolism and was more tolerant to non-favorable pH and...
