The Landscape of Realized Homologous Recombination in Pathogenic Bacteria [PDF]
Recombination enhances the adaptive potential of organisms by allowing genetic variants to be tested on multiple genomic backgrounds. Its distribution in the genome can provide insight into the evolutionary forces that underlie traits, such as the ...

SpoT Induces Intracellular Salmonella Virulence Programs in the Phagosome. [PDF]
Guanosine tetraphosphate (ppGpp) and guanosine pentaphosphate (pppGpp), together named (p)ppGpp, regulate diverse aspects of Salmonella pathogenesis, including synthesis of nutrients, resistance to inflammatory mediators, and expression of secretion ...

Strategic use of virulence pattern to develop genetic markers for resistance to common bunt (Tilletia caries) in wheat [PDF]
When assesssing races of common bunt for virulens pattern within a region, it is important to take into account that collected spores may represent a diverse population of different virulence races.
