Biosynthesis and Regulation of Coronatine, a Non-Host-Specific Phytotoxin Produced by Pseudomonas syringae

  • Chapter
Plant-Microbe Interactions

Part of the book series: Subcellular Biochemistry ((SCBI,volume 29))

Abstract

Pseudomonas syringae induces a wide variety of symptoms on plants, including blights (rapid death of tissue), leaf spots, and galls. The species P. syringae is subdivided into pathogenic variants (pathovars; pvs.) which vary in host range. Two distinct reactions are possible when P. syringae cells are infiltrated into plant tissue. One potential outcome is a compatible, susceptible interaction which is characterized by a symptom called “water-soaking,” a reaction which is followed by pathogen proliferation and advanced symptom development. In contrast, resistant host cells undergo a reaction known as the hypersensitive response (HR) and become necrotic 12–24 hr after inoculation; this severely restricts multiplication of the pathogen and results in host resistance. A cluster of genes termed the hrp region (for hypersensitive response and pathogenicity) is conserved in phytopathogenic prokaryotes and controls the ability of a bacterium to induce an HR in a resistant host and pathogenicity in a susceptible host (Willis et al., 1991). The hrp genes are now known to encode genes for the regulation and biosynthesis of a type III secretion pathway that is used by both plant and animal pathogens to secrete virulence proteins (Salmond, 1994).
