Abstract excerpt
Galacturonic acid (GalUA) is a major component of pectin and polygalacturonic acid in the plant cell wall. In the phytopathogen Erwinia chrysanthemi, the uptake of molecules derived from degradation of these polymers is an important early step in the events preceding induction of pectinases, ultimately leading to plant tissue maceration. Uptake systems for GalUA and dimers of GalUA have been described and shown...
