A pangenomic atlas reveals that eco-evolutionary dynamics shape plant pathogen type VI secretion systems
2023-09-06
Abstract excerpt
Soil-borne Ralstonia solanacearum species complex (RSSC) bacteria disrupt rhizosphere and endophytic microbial communities as they invade roots and fatally wilt plants. RSSC pathogens secrete antimicrobial toxins using a type VI secretion system (T6SS). To investigate how evolution and ecology have shaped pathogen T6SS biology, we analyzed the T6SS gene content and architecture across the RSSC pangenome and their...
