The Virulence Factors of the Bacterial Wilt Pathogen Ralstonia solanacearum
One of the most important virulence factors is a heterogeneous polymer of N-acetylated extracellular polysaccharide I (EPS I) [8]. EPS I-deficient mutants are nearly avirulent and do not colonize plant xylem vessels as efficient as wild type [4,9]. It has been suggested that EPS I directly causes wilting by physically blocking the vascular system and thereby alters water movement [8]. It has al...
متن کاملChemotaxis is required for virulence and competitive fitness of the bacterial wilt pathogen Ralstonia solanacearum.
Ralstonia solanacearum, a soilborne plant pathogen of considerable economic importance, invades host plant roots from the soil. Qualitative and quantitative chemotaxis assays revealed that this bacterium is specifically attracted to diverse amino acids and organic acids, and especially to root exudates from the host plant tomato. Exudates from rice, a nonhost plant, were less attractive. Eight ...
متن کاملEnhanced Disease Susceptibility1 Mediates Pathogen Resistance and Virulence Function of a Bacterial Effector in Soybean.
Enhanced disease susceptibility1 (EDS1) and phytoalexin deficient4 (PAD4) are well-known regulators of both basal and resistance (R) protein-mediated plant defense. We identified two EDS1-like (GmEDS1a/GmEDS1b) proteins and one PAD4-like (GmPAD4) protein that are required for resistance signaling in soybean (Glycine max). Consistent with their significant structural conservation to Arabidopsis ...
متن کاملExposure to Host Resistance Mechanisms Drives Evolution of Bacterial Virulence in Plants
Bacterial pathogenicity to plants and animals has evolved through an arms race of attack and defense. Key players are bacterial effector proteins, which are delivered through the type III secretion system and suppress basal defenses . In plants, varietal resistance to disease is based on recognition of effectors by the products of resistance (R) genes . When recognized, the effector or in this ...
متن کاملEnhancement of bacterial wilt resistance and rhizosphere health in tomato using bionanocomposites
Biological control agents are useful components in the enhancement of plant disease resistance and improvement of soil properties. Effect of biological control agents (BCAs) as a disease control method in plants is hampered by their vulnerability to environmental and edaphic conditions. This study entailed the use of chitosan-silica nanocomposites for delivery of BCAs. Effect of BCAs-nanocompos...
