Erwinia amylovora hrpN mutants, blocked in harpin synthesis , express a reduced virulence on host plants and elicit variable hypersensitive reactions on tobacco.

Abstract excerpt
Erwinia amylovora is the bacterium responsible for fire blight, a necrotic disease affecting many rosaceous plants and especially pear tree and apple tree. A protein named harpin, secreted through the Hrp secretion pathway and able to elicit an hypersensitive reaction (HR) on tobacco has recently been isolated. Mutants inhrpN, the gene encoding harpin were described as non pathogenic on immature pear fruit and una...
