Abstract excerpt
Pseudomonas syringae is a gram-negative bacterium that infects a number of agriculturally important plant species. The ability of the organism to deliver virulence factors across the plant cell wall is a key to its pathogenicity. Deletion mutants in the twin arginine translocation (Tat) pathway of two pathovars of P. syringae, pvs. tomato DC3000 and maculicola ES4326, displayed a range of pleiotropic phenotypic...
