Abstract excerpt
Resistance in tomato to Pseudomonas syringae pv tomato (avrPto) is conferred by the gene Pto in a gene-for-gene relationship. A hypersensitive disease resistance response (HR) is elicited when Pto and avrPto are expressed experimentally within the same plant cell. The kinase capability of Pto was required for AvrPto-dependent HR induction. Systematic mutagenesis of the activation segment of Pto kinase confirmed...
