A Pathogenicity Gene Isolated from the pPATH Plasmid of Erwinia herbicola pv. gypsophilae Determines Host Specificity

The host range of the gall-forming bacterium Erwinia herbicola pv. gypsophilae (Ehg) is restricted to the gypsophila plant whereas E. herbicola pv. betae (Ehb) incites galls on beet as well as gypsophila. The pathogenicity of Ehg and Ehb was previously shown to be dependent on a plasmid (pPATH). Tra...
