Genome-Wide Identification of Dickeya solani Transcriptional Units Up-Regulated in Response to Plant Tissues From a Crop-Host Solanum tuberosum and a Weed-Host Solanum dulcamara.

ABSTRACT: Dickeya solani is a Gram-negative bacterium able to cause disease symptoms on a variety of crop and ornamental plants worldwide. Weeds including Solanum dulcamara (bittersweet nightshade) growing near agricultural fields have been reported to support populations of soft rot bacteria in natural settings. However, little is known about the specific interaction of D. solani with such weed plants that may contribute to its success as an agricultural pathogen. The aim of this work was to assess the interaction of D. solani with its crop plant (Solanum tuberosum) and an alternative (S. dulcamara) host plant. From a collection of 10,000 Tn5 transposon mutants of D. solani IPO2222 carrying an inducible, promotorless gusA reporter gene, 210 we
