Abstract excerpt
In tomato plants, resistance to bacterial speck disease is mediated by a phosphorylation cascade, which is triggered by the specific recognition between the plant serine/threonine protein kinase Pto and the bacterial AvrPto protein. In the present study, we investigated in vitro biochemical properties of Pto, which appears to function as an intracellular receptor for the AvrPto signal molecule. Pto and its...
