Abstract excerpt
Ralstonia solanacearum is a soil-borne pathogen that causes bacterial wilt in plants. The wild-type strain of R. solanacearum undergoes spontaneous phenotype conversion (PC), from a fluidal to non-fluidal colony morphology. PC mutants are non-pathogenic due to reduced virulence factors, and can control wilt diseases as biological control agents. The induction factors of PC in R. solanacearum are currently...
