Abstract excerpt
The quorum-sensing (QS) system plays a crucial role in regulating the virulence of the Ralstonia solanacearum species complex (RSSC). It is controlled by the phcBSR operon and phcA genes. PhcQ may contribute to the activation of PhcA and regulates the expression of QS-dependent genes. Here, we genetically demonstrate that PhcQ functions as a key component of the QS regulatory pathway by maintaining the protein...
