Identifying pathogenic determinants of Acidovorax citrulli toward the control of bacterial fruit blotch of cucurbits

The specific objectives of this BARD proposal were: Use a comparative genomics approach to identify T3Es in group I, II and III strains of A. citrulli. Determine the bacterial genes contributing to host preference. Develop mutant strains that can be used for biological control of BFB. Background to ... View More
