Abstract:
Despite impressive advances in the study of plant resistance to pathogens, little is known about the molecular basis of plant susceptibility to virulent pathogens. Recent progress in susceptible plant-Pseudomonas syringae interactions has provided a glimpse into the battles fought between plants and bacterial pathogens. A key step for pathogenesis appears to be the suppression of host defenses. Suppression of host defenses, including basal defense, gene-for-gene resistance and nonhost resistance, is a key step for pathogenesis. Defense suppression is mediated by bacterial effector proteins, which are secreted through the type III secretion system, and by coronatine, a bacterial toxin that structurally and functionally mimics methyl jasmonate, a plant defense signaling molecule.
