Whole-genome comparative analysis of virulence genes unveils similarities and differences between endophytes and other symbiotic bacteria

Plant pathogens and endophytes co-exist and often interact with the host plant and within its microbial community. The outcome of these interactions may lead to healthy plants through beneficial interactions, or to disease through the inducible production of molecules known as virulence factors. Unr...
