Plant pathology: monitoring a pathogen-targeted host protein

Curr Biol. 2003 May 13;13(10):R400-2. doi: 10.1016/s0960-9822(03)00321-x.

Abstract

A plant protein RIN4 is targeted and modified by bacterial pathogens as part of the disease process. At least two host resistance proteins monitor this pathogen interference and trigger the plant's defence responses.
