The C-Terminal Half of the HrpN Virulence Protein of the Fire Blight Pathogen Erwinia amylovora Is Essential for Its Secretion and for Its Virulence and Avirulence Activities

The HrpN (harpin) protein of the fire blight pathogen Erwinia amylovora is an essential virulence factor secreted via the bacterial type III secretion system. HrpN also has avirulence activity when delivered to tobacco by E. amylovora and has defense elicitor activity when applied to plants as a cel...
