Mapping the Elicitor and Necrotic Sites of Phytophthora Elicitins with Synthetic Peptides and Reporter Genes Controlled by Tobacco Defense Gene Promoters
Elicitins are 10-kDa proteins secreted by Phytophthora and Pythium fungi that elicit a hypersensitive-like necrotic reaction, leading to resistance against fungal and bacterial plant pathogens. Induction of necrosis and resistance were previously shown to be borne by different sites of the molecule....
