The genetic requirements for HiVir-mediated onion necrosis by Pantoea ananatis, a necrotrophic plant pathogen

G. Y. Shin, B. Dutta, B. H. Kvitko

This study identifies the genetic requirements for HiVir-mediated onion necrosis in Pantoea ananatis, showing that hvrB-hvrF are essential while hvrG-hvrJ are partially required, and highlights SNPs in deviant strains.
