Agrobacterium expressing a type III secretion system delivers Pseudomonas effectors into plant cells to enhance transformation
Abstract
Agrobacterium infection can cause defense responses in many plants, which leads to transformation recalcitrance. Here, the authors express type III secretion system in Agrobacterium to deliver effector proteins into plant cells to suppress host defense responses and thus enhance transformation in some plant species.
