Recent studies have suggested that plant genomes have undergone potentially rampant horizontal gene transfer (HGT), especially in the mitochondrial genome. Parasitic plants have provided the strongest
a)Natural transformation assays were performed with purified DNA as donor source, except in the experiments with the various donor species and A. baylyi BD413 recipient bacteria, where supernatants of
We aim to study effects of an Integrative and Conjugative Element (ICE) on a host during horizontal transmission. To this end, we analyze genome-wide transcriptome differences in Pseudomonas putida st
