Journal ArticleDOI

Thaxtomin biosynthesis: the path to plant pathogenicity in the genus Streptomyces.

TL;DR: A second virulence gene in pathogenic Streptomyces species, nec1, encodes a novel secreted protein that may suppress plant defence responses, which likely explains the rapid emergence of new pathogenic species.
Journal ArticleDOI

Streptomyces scabies 87-22 contains a coronafacic acid-like biosynthetic cluster that contributes to plant-microbe interactions.

TL;DR: The cfa-like biosynthetic cluster is a newly discovered locus in S. scabies that contributes to host-pathogen interactions and requires a transcriptional regulator embedded in the cluster as well as the bldA tRNA.
Journal ArticleDOI

What does it take to be a plant pathogen: genomic insights from Streptomyces species.

TL;DR: Comparative genomic analyses with other sequenced microbial pathogens have revealed the presence of additional genes that may play a role in plant pathogenicity, an idea that is supported by functional analysis of one such putative virulence locus.
