  • Phylogeny and Evolution of Gall-Associated Plant Pathogenic Bacteria

    Creator:
    Davis, Edward W., II
    Abstract:
    Gall-associated phytopathogens have unique evolutionary histories that haveshaped both their modes of infection and genomic structures. Pathogenicity of the gall-associated plant pathogens of the Rhodococcus, Agrobacterium, and Rathayibactergenera is mediated by horizontally acquired virulence loci. The relative ease of gainand loss of the virulence loci has confounded accurate characterization of...

  • Characterizing the symbiotic interactions between Rhodococcus and plants

    Creator:
    Stevens, Danielle M.
    Abstract:
    Bacteria are critical to the health of eukaryotes and the ecosystems in which they persist. Some symbiotic interactions are mutualistic in which both microbe and host benefit from the partnership. Other interactions are parasitic, and the microbe typically benefits at a cost to the host. Rhodococcus is a genus of...
