A prophage tail-like protein is deployed by Burkholderia bacteria to feed on fungi
Some bacteria can feed on live fungi through unclear mechanisms. Here, the authors show that a T3SS-secreted protein, which is homologous to phage tail proteins, allows a Burkholderia gladioli strain to kill and feed on various fungal species.

Genomic and genetic analyses of diversity and plant interactions of Pseudomonas fluorescens [PDF]
Background: Pseudomonas fluorescens are common soil bacteria that can improve plant health through nutrient cycling, pathogen antagonism and induction of plant defenses. The genome sequences of strains SBW25 and Pf0-1 were determined and compared to each

THREE RICE NAC TRANSCRIPTION FACTORS HETEROMERIZE AND ARE ASSOCIATED WITH SEED SIZE
NACs are plant-specific transcription factors (TFs) involved in multiple aspects of development and stress. In rice, three NAC TF encoding genes, namely ONAC020, ONAC026 and ONAC023 express specifically during seed development, at extremely high levels ...
