Abstract excerpt
Molecular characterization of the avrBs2 locus from Xanthomonas campestris pv. vesicatoria has revealed that expression of this gene triggers disease resistance in Bs2 pepper (Capsicum annuum) plants and contributes to virulence of the pathogen. Deletion analysis and site-directed mutagenesis est...
