Ralstonia solanacearum Virulence Increased Following Large Interstrain Gene Transfers by Natural Transformation

Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is a major driving force of evolution and is also likely to play an important role in the threatening emergence of novel pathogens, especially if it involves distantly related strains with substantially different pathogenicity. In this study, the impact of natural tran...
