Using forward genetics in Nicotiana benthamiana to uncover the immune signaling pathway mediating recognition of the Xanthomonas perforans effector XopJ4

What is it about?

Plant pathogens inflict significant crop losses despite current control methods, which can be expensive and have negative impacts on the environment and human health. Here we describe the identification of an immune pathway which confers resistance against a particular plant bacterial pathogen species.
