Overexpression of F-Box Nictaba Promotes Defense and Anthocyanin Accumulation in Arabidopsis thaliana After Pseudomonas syringae Infection.

ABSTRACT: Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato DC3000 (Pst DC3000) is a well-known pathogen and model organism used to study plant-pathogen interactions and subsequent plant immune responses. Numerous studies have demonstrated the effect of Pst DC3000 on Arabidopsis plants and how type III effectors are required to promote bacterial virulence and pathogenesis. F-Box Nictaba (encoded by At2g02360) is a stress-inducible lectin that is upregulated in Arabidopsis thaliana leaves after Pst DC3000 infection. In this study, a flood inoculation assay was optimized to check the performance of transgenic Arabidopsis seedlings with different expression levels of F-Box Nictaba after bacterial infection. Using a combination of multispectral and fluorescen
