Mechanism of disease development caused by a multihost plant bacterium, Pseudomonas cichorii, and its virulence diversity
2013-11-01
Abstract excerpt
Pseudomonas cichorii causes rot on lettuce leaves, distinct from the necrotic spots of infected eggplant leaves. On lettuce leaves, P. cichorii invades intercellular spaces through stomata and grows vigorously, causing rot on the leaves. Surprisingly, P. cichorii does not produce pectate lyase, the most important enzyme for degrading plant cell walls. Alternatively, infection with P. cichorii causes heterochromati...
