Mechanism and Breeding Application of Bacterial Blight Gene in Rice

Guangdong nongye kexue, 2022
Rice is one of the most important food crops in the world. Rice disease is a major threat to its yield loss. Bacterial blight caused by the gram-negative bacterium Xanthomonas oryzae pv.

The coevolution of toxin and antitoxin genes drives the dynamics of bacterial addiction complexes and intragenomic conflict [PDF]

, 2012
Bacterial genomes commonly contain ‘addiction’ gene complexes that code for both a toxin and a corresponding antitoxin. As long as both genes are expressed, cells carrying the complex can remain healthy.

What does the talking?: quorum sensing signalling genes discovered in a bacteriophage genome. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
The transfer of novel genetic material into the genomes of bacterial viruses (phages) has been widely documented in several host-phage systems. Bacterial genes are incorporated into the phage genome and, if retained, subsequently evolve within them.

Enzymes are enriched in bacterial essential genes.

PLoS ONE, 2011
Essential genes, those indispensable for the survival of an organism, play a key role in the emerging field, synthetic biology. Characterization of functions encoded by essential genes not only has important practical implications, such as in identifying

Functional Traits Co-Occurring with Mobile Genetic Elements in the Microbiome of the Atacama Desert [PDF]

, 2019
Mobile genetic elements (MGEs) play an essential role in bacterial adaptation and evolution. These elements are enriched within bacterial communities from extreme environments. However, very little is known if specific genes co-occur with MGEs in extreme

Bacterial Transformation Buffers Environmental Fluctuations through the Reversible Integration of Mobile Genetic Elements

mBio, 2020
Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) promotes the spread of genes within bacterial communities. Among the HGT mechanisms, natural transformation stands out as being encoded by the bacterial core genome.

Bacterial resistance to antimicrobial agents and its impact on veterinary and human medicine [PDF]

, 2016
Background Antimicrobial resistance has become a major challenge in veterinary medicine, particularly in the context of bacterial pathogens that play a role in both humans and animals.

Multiple gene sequence analysis using genes of the bacterial DNA repair pathway

Brazilian Archives of Biology and Technology, 2015
The ability to recognize and repair abnormal DNA structures is common to all forms of life. Physiological studies and genomic sequencing of a variety of bacterial species have identified an incredible diversity of DNA repair pathways.

cDNA-RNA subtractive hybridization reveals increased expression of mycocerosic acid synthase in intracellular Mycobacterium bovis BCG. [PDF]

, 2001
Identifying genes that are differentially expressed by Mycobacterium bovis BCG after phagocytosis by macrophages will facilitate the understanding of the molecular mechanisms of host cell-intracellular pathogen interactions. To identify such genes a cDNA-
