Abstract excerpt

The pathogenicity-associated plasmid (pPATH) of Erwinia herbicola pv. gypsophilae (Ehg), which is present only in pathogenic strains, contains a gene cluster encoding indole-3-acetic acid and cytokinin biosynthesis. The transposon-reporter Tn3-Spice was used to generate nonpathogenic mutants on t...
