Multiplication of Acidovorax citrulli in planta during infection of melon seedlings requires the ability to synthesize leucine
2014-08-01
Abstract excerpt
Acidovorax citrulli causes seedling blight and bacterial fruit blotch (BFB) of cucurbits, a serious disease threat to cucurbit seed and fruit production worldwide. Despite its economic importance, current knowledge on the biology and pathology of A. citrulli is limited. This work studies a mini‐Tn5 mutant, MJ22‐3, that showed reduced virulence on melon seedlings. The gene disrupted by Tn5 was identified as leuB, w...
