The Role of Pectic Enzymes in Plant Pathogenesis

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that fragments released from the cell wall by pectic enzymes can elicit plant defense reactions and that the highly pectolytic bacteria, Erwinia chrysanthemi and E. carotovora, are amenable to a powerful array of molecular genetic manipulations.
