Abstract excerpt
The ability to move from the primary infection site and colonize distant tissue in the leaf is an important property of bacterial plant pathogens, yet this aspect has hardly been investigated for model pathogens. Here we show that GFP-expressing Pseudomonas syringae pv. syringae DC3000 that lacks the HopQ1-1 effector (PtoDC3000ΔhQ) has a strong capacity to colonize distant leaf tissue from wound-inoculated sites...
