Abstract excerpt
Plant pathogenic Pseudomonas syringae strains harbour a type III secretion pathway suggested to be involved in the delivery of effector proteins from the bacteria into plant cells. During plant interaction, the bacteria apparently produce surface appendages, termed Hrp pili, that are indispensable for the secretion process. We have created an insertion mutation library, as well as deletion mutations to hrpA, the...
