Abstract excerpt
AvrRpt2, an effector protein from Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato (Pst), behaves as an avirulence factor that activates resistance in Arabidopsis thaliana lines expressing the resistance gene RPS2. AvrRpt2 can also enhance pathogen fitness by promoting the ability of the bacteria to grow and to cause disease on susceptible lines of A. thaliana that lack functional RPS2. The activation of RPS2 is coupled to the...
