Erwinia chrysanthemi strain 3937 is a necrotrophic bacterial plant pathogen. Pectinolytic enzymes and, in particular, pectate lyases (Pels) play a key role in soft rot symptoms but the efficient colonization of plants by E. chrysanthemi requires additional factors. These factors include the harpin HrpN, the cellulase Cel5, proteases (Prts), flagellar proteins and the Sap system, involved in the detoxification of...
