Elicitin Genes Expressed In Vitro by Certain Tobacco Isolates of Phytophthora parasitica Are Down Regulated During Compatible Interactions

Phytophthora spp. secrete proteins called elicitins in vitro that can specifically induce hypersensitive response and systemic acquired resistance in tobacco. In Phytophthora parasitica, the causal agent of black shank, most isolates virulent on tobacco are unable to produce elicitins in vitro. Rece...
