Elucidation of the Pathogenicity-Associated Regulatory Network in <named-content content-type="genus-species">Xanthomonas oryzae</named-content> pv. oryzae

ABSTRACT Xanthomonas is a notorious plant pathogen causing serious diseases in hundreds of plant hosts. Xanthomonas species are equipped with an array of signal transduction systems that regulate gene expression to survive in various harsh environments and successfully infect hosts. Although certain...
