Research on Diffusible Signal Factor-Mediated Quorum Sensing in Xanthomonas: A Mini-Review.

ABSTRACT: Xanthomonas spp. are important plant pathogens that seriously endanger crop yields and food security. RpfF is a key enzyme that is involved in the synthesis of diffusible signal factor (DSF) signals and predominates in the signaling pathway regulating quorum sensing (QS) in Xanthomonas. Currently, novel RpfF enzyme-based quorum sensing agents have been proposed as a promising strategy for the development of new pesticides. However, few reports are available that comprehensively summarize the progress in this field. Therefore, we provide a comprehensive review of the recent advances in DSF-mediated QS and recently reported inhibitors that are proposed as bactericide candidates to target the RpfF enzyme and control plant bacterial diseases.
