Streptomyces turgidiscabies Possesses a Functional Cytokinin Biosynthetic Pathway and Produces Leafy Galls

Streptomyces turgidiscabies, a cause of potato scab, possesses a mobilizable pathogenicity island containing multiple virulence genes and a cytokinin biosynthetic pathway. These biosynthetic genes are homologous and collinear with the fas operon in Rhodococcus fascians. Reverse-transcriptase polymer...
