Transcriptomics, i.e., the quantification of cellular RNA transcripts, is a powerful way to gauge the physiological state of either bacterial or eukaryotic cells under a given condition. However, traditional...

Our knowledge of the functions required by extracellular bacterial pathogens to grow in host tissues is still limited. Most available information refers to studies conducted under laboratory growth conditions that mimic host environments but exclude the influence of the host ...

Current and emerging plant diseases caused by obligate parasitic microbes such as rusts, downy mildews, and powdery mildews threaten worldwide crop production and food safety. These obligate parasites are typically unculturable in the laboratory, posing technical challenges to characterize them ...
