As reported previously for Ralstonia solanacearum strain GMI1000, wild‐type strains AW1
and K60 were shown to produce Hrp pili. AW1 and K60 mutants lacking Hrp pili still …

▪ Abstract Ralstonia solanacearum is a devastating plant pathogen with a global distribution
and an unusually wide host range. This bacterium can also be free-living as a saprophyte in …

This review mainly discusses three related topics: the application of ecological theories to
soil, the measurement of microbial diversity by molecular techniques and the impact of …

Field releases of transgenic rizomania-resistant sugar beet (Beta vulgaris) plants were
accompanied by a study of the persistence of DNA from transgenic sugar beet litter in soil …

Plant root border cells have been recently recognized as an important physical defense
against soil-borne pathogens. Root border cells produce an extracellular matrix of protein …

Twitching motility is a form of bacterial translocation over firm surfaces that requires retractile
type IV pili. Microscopic colonies of Ralstonia solanacearum strains AW1, K60 and GMI1000 …

In this paper, we investigated the antibacterial activity and the action mode of carbon
nanomaterials (CNMs) against the copper-resistant plant pathogenic bacterium Ralstonia …

Ralstonia solanacearum is a bacterial plant pathogen causing important economic losses
worldwide. In addition to the polar flagella responsible for swimming motility, this pathogen …

Ralstonia solanacearum, like many phytopathogenic bacteria, makes multiple extracellular
plant cell-wall-degrading enzymes (CWDE), some of which contribute to its ability to cause …

Background Ralstonia solanacearum is a vascular soil-borne plant pathogen with an
unusually broad host range. This economically destructive and globally distributed …
