Pyocyanin, a Virulence Factor Produced by Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Alters Root Development Through Reactive Oxygen Species and Ethylene Signaling in Arabidopsis

Pyocyanin acts as a virulence factor in Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a plant and animal pathogen. In this study, we evaluated the effect of pyocyanin on growth and development of Arabidopsis seedlings. Root inoculation with P. aeruginosa PAO1 strain inhibited primary root growth in wild-type (WT) Arabido...
