Abstract excerpt
In order to cause disease on plants, gram-negative phytopathogenic bacteria introduce numerous virulence factors into the host cell in order to render host tissue more hospitable for pathogen proliferation. The mode of action of such bacterial virulence factors and their interaction with host defense pathways remain poorly understood. avrRpt2, a gene from Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato JL1065, has been shown to...
