Prediction of gene clusters associated with host specificity of Ralstonia pseudosolanacearum race 4 based on comparative genomic analysis
Ralstonia pseudosolanacearum race 4 differs from race 1 in being pathogenic on ginger (Zingiber officinale). Here, we used a comparative genomic analysis to predict the genes associated with this specificity of r...

Taxonomic re-examination of several Japanese Stemphylium strains based on morphological and molecular phylogenetic analyses
Most of the many Stemphylium species on record as plant pathogens in Japan have been identified by morphology. Using molecular phylogenetic analysis of four loci (rDNA-ITS, EF-1α, GPD, and vmaA-vpsA) combined, we...
