Analysis of genome sequences from plant pathogenic Rhodococcus reveals genetic novelties in virulence loci.

Members of Gram-positive Actinobacteria cause economically important diseases to plants. Within the Rhodococcus genus, some members can cause growth deformities and persist as pathogens on a wide range of host plants. The current model predicts that phytopathogenic isolates require a cluster of thre...
