Chemotaxis to plant defense compounds in phytopathogens. Pathogen attack triggers the release of defense compounds by plants. Bacteria move chemotactically to these compounds. Nice collaboration with Ashleigh Holmes, @Gavirius, @Miguel_Matilla journals.plos.org/plospathog…

Chemotaxis to plant defense compounds in phytopathogens

Author summary Chemotaxis permits bacteria to move to sites that are favorable for survival and host colonization. A typical chemotactic response is initiated by the binding of chemoeffectors to...

Our new study shows that a phytopathogenic bacterium uses distinct receptors to detect plant defence compounds released upon infection, revealing an important role for chemotaxis in plant virulence. @KrellLaboratory @Gavirius @BlastMeetings @CSICdivulga journals.plos.org/plospathog…

This is the first report of chemotaxis to feruloylagmatine and p-coumaroylagmatine, two well-known plant defense compounds. Both compounds bind to the PacG chemoreceptor inducing chemoattraction.
