Other claims from this paper (5)
- Observation Closely related Pseudomonas fluorescens strains promoted Arabidopsis growth.
- Observation Some closely related Pseudomonas fluorescens strains caused disease in Arabidopsis.
- Association Genomic islands correlated with outcomes for plant health.
- Mechanism Conserved quorum sensing machinery lets pathogenic strains detect environmental quorum signals and coordinate pathogenic behavior.
- Observation Loci associated with pathogenic and commensal lifestyles were convergently gained and lost across lineages through homologous recombination.
