Moreover, comparative genomics would improve the analysis of virulence and host adaptation in Xanthomonas, since the genomic sequences of four other Xanthomonas strains displaying different host specificities and representing three other species are also available, i.e. Xanthomonas axonopodis pv.
In addition, Rxo1 recognizes not only avirulent B. andropogonis, but also avrRxo1 in Xanthomonas oryzae pv.
XCC1470, the orthologue of the Fur regulator identified in Xoo [39] and in Xanthomonas campestris pv.
The ortholog of the XCC3359 gene, named suh, has been characterized in Xanthomonas axonopodis pv.
In our study, we did not detect in Xanthomonas genomes any protein displaying similarities with SusD.
In Xanthomonas campestris pv.
In Xanthomonas axonopodis pv.
Originally identified in Xanthomonas campestris pv.
List of positively selected genes in Xanthomonas.
References of the presently known T3SEs in Xanthomonas were retrieved from the Xanthomonas Resource website [ 56] and all 26 genomes were screened for homologs.
