A Hierarchical OhrR–EmrR Regulatory Circuit Fine‐Tunes the Vfm Quorum‐ Sensing System and Virulence in Dickeya oryzae
ABSTRACT Rice foot rot, caused by Dickeya oryzae, is a destructive bacterial disease. The Vfm quorum‐sensing (QS) system is a key virulence regulator of this pathogen. However, the mechanisms by which it perceives and integrates upstream environmental signals for precise transcriptional control are poorly understood. H...
