Many plant bacteriologists, if not all, feel that their particular microbe should appear in any
list of the most important bacterial plant pathogens. However, to our knowledge, no such list …

Plants synthesize jasmonates (JAs) in response to developmental cues or environmental
stresses, in order to coordinate plant growth, development or defense against pathogens …

Rfam is a comprehensive collection of non-coding RNA (ncRNA) families, represented by
multiple sequence alignments and profile stochastic context-free grammars. Rfam aims to …

Covering: up to June 2009 Pseudomonas is a diverse genus of Gammaproteobacteria with
more than 60 species exhibiting varied life styles in a wide range of environments, including …

In prokaryotes, clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPRs) and
their associated (Cas) proteins constitute a defence system against bacteriophages and …

Despite the fact that roots are the organs most subject to microbial interactions, very little is
known about the response of roots to microbe-associated molecular patterns (MAMPs). By …

OrthoMCL is an algorithm for grouping proteins into ortholog groups based on their
sequence similarity. OrthoMCL‐DB is a public database that allows users to browse and …

We determined the complete genome sequence of Clostridium difficile strain 630, a virulent
and multidrug-resistant strain. Our analysis indicates that a large proportion (11%) of the …

The oomycetes form a phylogenetically distinct group of eukaryotic microorganisms that
