Mb. Mudgett et Bj. Staskawicz, PROTEIN SIGNALING VIA TYPE-III SECRETION PATHWAYS IN PHYTOPATHOGENIC BACTERIA, CURRENT OPINION IN MICROBIOLOGY, 1(1), 1998, pp. 109-115
Progress in the genetic and biochemical dissection of the hrp-encoded
type III secretion pathway has revealed new mechanisms by which phytop
athogenic bacteria infect plants. The suggestion that bacterial gene p
roducts are 'delivered to' and 'perceived by' plants cells has fundame
ntally changed the way in which plant-bacterial interactions are now b
eing viewed.
