Abstract excerpt
The specific recognition of elicitors produced by plant pathogenic bacteria carrying avirulence (avr) genes is postulated to initiate cellular defense responses in plants expressing corresponding resistance genes. The biochemical functions of most avr genes, however, are not known. A heterologous system was developed to phenotypically express Pseudomonas syringae avr genes in Escherichia coli cells that required...
