Genome-Guided Dissection of ser and shlB Uncovers Multifactorial Virulence Mechanisms of Serratia marcescens PXG6 in Plutella xylostella.
The rapid evolution of pesticide resistance in Plutella xylostella has reduced the effectiveness of conventional pest control methods in cruciferous crops. This study investigated the virulence of Serratia marcescens PXG6 against P. xylostella and identified two putative virulence factors, ser (serralysin) and shlB (he...
