They found that type III effector suites are highly variable in the two pathogens, presumably reflecting the evolutionary selection imposed by their respective host plants.

They also show that the induction of resistance is dependent on the flagellin receptor FLS2. The fls2 Arabidopsis mutant (particularly its young leaves) is more susceptible than wildtype plants to Pst DC3000 if bacteria are inoculated onto the leaf surface.

AvrPto transgenic plants are compromised in the deposition of defense-related callose in the host cell wall and allow increased multiplication of a TTSS mutant strain.

RIN4 is shown to be a negative regulator of basal defense and a virulence target of AvrRpt2 and AvrRpm1. Together with [ 21-24 ] and [ 59,61,62 ] (due to space limitation, these outstanding papers are not annotated individually), this paper provides strong experimental proof for the so-called guard hypothesis in which guard host proteins (R proteins) are targeted by the virulence functions of TTSS effectors (Avr proteins).

They showed that two TTSS effectors, HopPtoM and AvrE, suppress SA-dependent basal defense and promote tissue necrosis. HopPtoM and AvrE are conserved in all examined P. syringae strains and other bacteria (in the case of AvrE), suggesting that the two effectors have an important role in P. syringae pathogenesis.

AvrRpt2 cleaves itself and several host proteins, including RIN4. This study illustrates the remarkable ability of a bacterial virulence protein to find a host co-factor for its molecular action inside the host cell.

Zhou Interplay of the Arabidopsis nonhost resistance gene NHO1 with bacterial virulence Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 100 2003 3519 3524 The authors cloned the first Arabidopsis nonhost resistance gene against P. syringae. The expression of the NHO1 gene, which encodes a glycerol kinase, is induced by nonhost P. syringae strains but suppressed by the virulent Arabidopsis pathogen Pst DC3000. The mechanism by which a glycerol kinase confers nonhost resistance remains to be understood.

Vivanco Mediation of pathogen resistance by exudation of antimicrobials from roots Nature 434 2005 217 221 This paper reports the surprising finding that Pst DC3000 can cause disease on Arabidopsis roots. Unlike nonhost strains of P. syringae, this virulent bacterium is capable of tolerating and/or blocking the synthesis or exudation of antimicrobial compounds from roots in a TTSS-dependent manner. The results implicate a direct role of the root exudation of antimicrobial compounds in nonhost and tissue-specific resistance.
