Molecular biological studies of Ralstonia solanacearum and related plant pathogenic bacteria - 農業知識入口網

Ralstonia solanacearum is the causal organism of bacterial wilt in more than 200 species and 50 families of plants in tropical, subtropical, and warm regions in the world. This bacterium is a heterogeneous species with phenotypic and genetic variability. For more than four decades, R. solanacearum strains have been classified according to race (based on host range) and biovars (based on utilization of carbohydrates).
