Oxidative stress regulates the expression of the Pht cluster genes involved in phaseolotoxin synthesis in Pseudomonas syringae pv. phaseolicola NPS3121 Article uri icon

abstract

  • This study evaluated the role of oxidative stress on the expression of Pht cluster genes involved in phaseolotoxin synthesis in Pseudomonas syringae pv. phaseolicola. Results demonstrate that the expression of Pht cluster genes is regulated by oxidative stress in a manner dependent of the ROS present in the cell. The presence of H2O2 and Paraquat, influences on the expression of the Pht cluster genes in function of the compound and of the concentration evaluated, demonstrating that expression of Pht genes is part of the oxidative stress response in P. syringae pv. phaseolicola NPS3121. © 2018, The Phytopathological Society of Japan and Springer Japan KK, part of Springer Nature.
