Pseudomonas fuscovaginae UPB0736 Transcriptome or Gene expression

Pseudomonas fuscovaginae (Pfv) is an emerging plant pathogen, causing sheath brown rot in rice as well as being pathogenic in other gramineae food crops including maize, sorghum and wheat. Pfv possesses two conserved N-acyl homoserine lactone (AHL) quorum sensing (QS) systems called PfvI/R and PfsI/R which are repressed by RsaL and RsaM, respectively. The two systems are not hierarchically organized and are involved in plant virulence. In this study the AHL QS PfsI/R, PfvI/R and RsaM regulons were determined by transcriptomic analysis.
