The PHYTOPHONUS project investigates how certain bacteria transition from insect symbionts to plant pathogens. It focuses on the genetic adaptations that enable these bacteria to thrive in different host environments, impacting agriculture.
Bacterial symbionts are ubiquitous and influential partners of all metazoan life forms.
This is exemplified by the high number of insect species harbouring heritable bacterial symbionts with important impacts on host ecology and evolution.
In contrast, several plant pathogenic bacteria causing devastating crop diseases and important economic losses also depend on insect vectors to be transmitted to new host plants.
It is thus evident that certain bacteria have evolved adaptations to very differe…
