Enhanced colonization and pathogenicity of Erwinia amylovora strains transformed with the near-ubiquitous pEA29 plasmid on pear and apple
2010-04-01
Abstract excerpt
Three plasmid-free strains of Erwinia amylovora, the causal agent of fire blight disease of pome trees, one from Iran, one from Egypt and one from Spain, were transformed with the near-ubiquitous nonconjugative pEA29 plasmid from a wild-type strain and characterized. The plasmid-deficient strains were levan- and slime-positive, motile, chemotaxis-positive, induced HR on Nicotiana tabacum var. xanthi but produced s...
