The bacterial type III-secreted protein AvrRps4 is a bipartite effector
Fig 5
Bacteria secreting AvrRps4N and AvrRps4C in tandem trigger resistance comparable to wild-type AvrRps4.
Col-0 plants were inoculated with 5x104 cfu/mL suspensions of the indicated DC3000 hopK1- strains. AvrRps4 variants were delivered from separate broad host range plasmids (top: pML123 constructs; bottom: pVSP61 constructs). Error bars denote standard deviation. Values are averages from four independent experiments with triplicate samples, and error bars denote standard deviation, with letters indicating statistically significant differences (P<0.05).
