Anthracnose of alfalfa, caused by the fungal pathogen Colletotrichum trifolii, is one of the most destructive diseases of alfalfa worldwide. An improved understanding of the genetic and molecular mechanisms underlying host resistance will facilitate the development of resistant alfalfa cultivars, thus providing the most efficient and environmentally sound strategy to control alfalfa diseases. Unfortunately,...
A cryptic plasmid of the wall-less plant pathogenic mollicute, Spiroplasma kunkelii CR2-3X, was cloned and its sequence analyzed. The 14,615bp plasmid, designated pSKU146, has a nucleotide content of 28mol% G+C, and contains 18 potential protein-coding regions (open reading frames, ORFs), of which six encode proteins that exhibit similarity to virulence-associated proteins involved in cell-to-cell...
The genomes of the three temperate bacteriophages contained in the chromosome of Staphylococcus aureus 8325 have been extracted from the sequence database and analyzed. φ11, φ12 and φ13 are members of the same lytic group but different serogroups and consequently co-habitate the same host cell. Their genomes are approximately 42 kb to 45kb and contain about 90 ORFs of at least 50 codons. Of these,...
