Pseudomonas cold shock proteins suppress bacterial effector translocation in Nicotiana benthamiana by Shen Cong, Jun-Zhou Li, Mei-Ran Zhang, Mei-Ran Zhang, Hai-Lei Wei, Wei Zhang

“…While peptide inoculation studies have revealed the effects of CSPs, their in vivo roles remain poorly understood.MethodsA model system involving the interactions between Pseudomonas fluorescens and P. syringae pv. tomato DC3000 with Nicotiana benthamiana has been widely used to investigate the molecular mechanism of plant-microbe interactions. Here, we employed this model system to explore the in vivo roles of CSPs in modulating plant immunity by multiple genetic approaches.ResultsOur findings revealed that three highly-conserved CSPs were identified in Pseudomonas strains. …”
