Evolutionary transitions between beneficial and phytopathogenic Rhodococcus challenge disease management

Evolutionary transitions between beneficial and phytopathogenic Rhodococcus challenge disease management

Understanding how bacteria affect plant health is crucial for developing sustainable crop production systems. We coupled ecological sampling and genome sequencing to characterize the population genetic history of Rhodococcus and the distribution patterns of virulence plasmids in isolates from nurser...
