Pitman, A. R., Jackson, R. W., Mansfield, J. W., Kaitell, V., Thwaites, R., & Arnold, D. L. (2005). Exposure to host resistance mechanisms drives evolution of bacterial virulence in plants. Current Biology, 15(24), 2230-2235. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cub.2005.10.074

Bacterial pathogenicity to plants and animals has evolved through an arms race of attack and defense. Key players are bacterial effector proteins, which are delivered through the type III secretion system and suppress basal defenses [1]. In plants, v...
