The distribution of onion virulence gene clusters among <i>Pantoea</i> spp
2020-12-19
Abstract excerpt
Pantoea ananatis is a gram-negative bacterium and the primary causal agent of center rot of onions in Georgia. Previous genomic studies identified two virulence gene clusters, HiVir and alt , associated with center rot. The HiVir gene cluster is required to induce necrosis on onion tissues via synthesis of a predicted small molecule toxin. The alt gene cluster aids in tolerance to thiosulfinates generated during...
