Abstract excerpt
Pseudomonas syringae pv. glycinea PG4180 produces a chlorosis-inducing phytotoxin, coronatine (COR), which consists of a polyketide component, coronafacic acid (CFA), which is coupled via amide bond formation to coronamic acid (CMA), an ethylcyelopropyl amino acid (aa) derived from isoleucine. P. syringae pv. syringae strains PS51 and PS61, which do not synthesize coronafacoyl compounds (conjugates between CFA...
