Role and regulation of the Flp/Tad pilus in the virulence of Pectobacterium atrosepticum SCRI1043 and Pectobacterium wasabiae SCC3193. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
In this study, we characterized a putative Flp/Tad pilus-encoding gene cluster, and we examined its regulation at the transcriptional level and its role in the virulence of potato pathogenic enterobacteria of the genus Pectobacterium.

Co-occurrence of latent Dickeya and Pectobacterium species in potato seed tuber samples from northern Finland

Agricultural and Food Science, 2021
Recent methodological developments have uncovered the etiological diversity of the potato blackleg and soft rot Pectobacteriaceae. At least five species in the genera Dickeya and Pectobacterium have been confirmed to cause blackleg on potatoes in Finland.

Complete Genome Sequence Resource of the Pathogen Pectobacterium cacticida CFCC 10813T Causing Soft Rot Diseases of Cactus Plants

PhytoFrontiers, 2023
Pectobacterium cacticida (formerly Erwinia cacticida) causes soft rot disease of cactus plants. Its taxonomic status within the genus Pectobacterium remains questionable because no whole genome sequence of this species is available in public databases ...

The Bacterial Soft Rot Pathogens, Pectobacterium carotovorum and P. atrosepticum, Respond to Different Classes of Virulence-Inducing Host Chemical Signals

Horticulturae, 2020
Soft rot bacteria of the Pectobacterium and Dickeya genera are Gram-negative phytopathogens that produce and secrete plant cell wall-degrading enzymes (PCWDE), the actions of which lead to rotting and decay of their hosts in the field and in storage ...
