Most Eukaryotes recognise flagellin as a signature of bacterial invasion. In contrast to animals, plants do not recognise flagellin proteins, but conserved peptides released from flagellin (Felix et al., 1999). However, these peptides (e.g. flg22) are folded and buried deeply inside the flagellin po...
