Pseudomonas cold shock proteins suppress bacterial effector translocation in Nicotiana benthamiana.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Plants detect the invasion of microbial pathogens through pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs). Cold shock proteins (CSPs) are a class of PAMPs specifically recognized by Solanales plants. While peptide inoculation studies have revealed the effects of CSPs, their in vivo roles remain poorly understood.

Methods

A model system involving the interactions between Pseudomonas fluorescens and P. syringae pv. tomato DC3000 with Nicotiana benthamiana has been widely used to investigate the molecular mechanism of plant-microbe interactions. Here, we employed this model system to explore the in vivo roles of CSPs in modulating plant immunity by multiple genetic approaches.
