  • PSEUDOMONAS PROTEGENS AND PRODUCTS THEREOF TO CONTROL BACTERIAL PANICLE BLIGHT OF RICE
    Publication number: 20210388374
    Abstract: The present invention provides biosynthetic products that may be useful for controlling bacterial panicle blight of rice. These products are encoded by four biosynthetic operons found within the genome of a Pseudomonas protegens strain designated as PBL3 and deposited as ATCC #, which has been shown to inhibit the growth of Burkholderia glumae on rice plants. Also provided are vectors encoding these biosynthetic products, and methods of using the biosynthetic products to inhibit the growth of microorganisms.
