Virulence Genes of the Phytopathogen Rhodococcus fascians Show Specific Spatial and Temporal Expression Patterns During Plant Infection

The phytopathogenic bacterium Rhodococcus fascians provokes shoot meristem formation and malformations on aerial plant parts, mainly at the axils. The interaction is accompanied by bacterial colonization of the plant surface and tissues. Upon infection, the two bacterial loci required for full virul...
