Deciphering the genomic and functional basis of virulence and immune modulation in Pantoea stewartii
Pantoea stewartii subsp. indologenes is an emerging cereal phytopathogen with unclear virulence mechanisms. We sequenced a rice seed-borne strain, HR3-48, and classified it as P. stewartii subsp. indologenes ( Pnsi ) through phylogeny of 92 housekeeping genes, ANI (> 99%), and dDDH (> 96%) comparisons. HR3-4...
