Comparative transcriptome analysis of a lowly virulent strain of Erwinia amylovora in shoots of two apple cultivars – susceptible and resistant to fire blight

Abstract Background Erwinia amylovora is generally considered to be a homogeneous species in terms of phenotypic and genetic features. However, strains show variation in their virulence, particularly on hosts with different susceptibility to fire blight. We applied the RNA-seq technique to elucidate...
