An Endopolygalacturonase from Sclerotinia sclerotiorum Induces Calcium-Mediated Signaling and Programmed Cell Death in Soybean Cells

A basic endopolygalacturonase (PG) isoform, produced early by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum when infecting soybean seedlings, was used to examine the signaling role of the enzyme in aequorin-expressing soybean cells. A cytosolic Ca2+ elevation was induced, with a rapid increase (phase 1) and a very slow...
