A computational model ofPseudomonas syringaemetabolism unveils the role of branched-chain amino acids in virulence expression at the early stages of Arabidopsis colonization
Abstract:Leaf mesophyll-colonizing bacterial pathogens infect their plant hosts by adjusting their metabolism to the leaf mesophyll environment. Soon after the inoculation of naive, susceptible plants, the model bacterial pathogen Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato DC3000 (PstDC3000) expresses virulence factors that suppress plant immunity, a requirement to produce robust infections. However, if plant immunity was elicited with Microbe-Associated Molecular-Patterns (MAMPs) prior to bacterial inoculation, PstDC3000 slows d… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
