Abstract excerpt
Bacterial flagellins have been portrayed as a relatively invariant pathogen-associated molecular pattern. We have found within-species, within-pathovar variation for defense-eliciting activity of flagellins among Xanthomonas campestris pv campestris (Xcc) strains. Arabidopsis thaliana FLAGELLIN SENSING2 (FLS2), a transmembrane leucine-rich repeat kinase, confers flagellin responsiveness. The flg22 region was the...
