e0“Growth analysis using sucrose as sole carbon source showed that I-Pae (lacking the gene cluster) was unable to grow whereas E-Pae could grow.”

Other claims from this paper (9)
- Observation Comparative genomics identified candidate virulence genes including a sucrose uptake cluster in 162 of 206 strains.
- Observation The I-Pae strain lacking the cluster could not grow on sucrose as sole carbon source.
- Observation P. savastanoi pv. phaseolicola 1448A had compromised growth despite having the cluster.
- Observation P. syringae pv. morsprunorum R15244 had compromised growth despite having the cluster.
- Observation Mutant and complementation assays confirmed that scrB and scrY matter for sucrose metabolism in vitro.
- Observation The sucrose gene cluster was important for symptom development in horse chestnut woody tissue.
- Observation The scr genes contributed to disease but were not essential for pathogen fitness relative to hrpL and hopAB1 mutants.
- Observation E-Pae caused disease symptoms in horse chestnut leaves.
- Intervention effect The E-Pae scrB mutant caused increased disease symptoms in horse chestnut.
