“…S5). P. carotovorum is a pathogen found on all continents and belongs to the SRE, which cause soft rot in 50% of angiosperm plant orders, including important food crops such as potato, pepper, celery, and tobacco ( 26 , 53 – 58 ). Potato ( S. tuberosum L. ) is an affordable crop and the third most important plant in agriculture after rice and wheat ( 59 , 60 ).…”
Rhizobia often display additional beneficial traits such as the production of plant hormones and the acquisition of limited essential nutrients that improve plant growth and enhance plant yields. Here, we show that the rhizobial strain
P. sabiae
antagonizes important phytopathogens such as
P. carotovorum,
P. syringae
, and
R. solanacearum
and that this effect is due to contact-dependent killing mediated by one of two T6SS systems identified in the complete,
de novo
assembled genome sequence of
P. sabiae
.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
