Tobacco Bean Tomato hosts tomato and Arabidopsis Hrp type III secretion system (TTSS) This is a slide depicting the different macro and microscopic reactions that Pseudomonas has in plants. Sepcifically, the tobacco plant. On the left most panel, macroscopically, we see disease, and this is Pathovar tabaci infecting its natural host tobacco. Microscopically the bacteria thriving,as you see in this coinfocal image taken by Wen-Ling Deng. – The bacteria are labelled with GFP, and the red is autofluorescent. AS you can see the bacteria are extracellular – they thrive in the intercellular space of plant cells known as the apoplast. In the middle, we have infiltration of P. syringae, a bean pathogen on a nonhost, tobacco. Macroscopically we see the hypersensitive response, a localized programmed cell death that restricts the pathogen from infecting the whole plant. The orange in this panel are phenolic compounds which make up part of a chemical burst the plant induces when it recognizes a pathogen. this HR occurs because the bacteria is delivering proteins into the plant cell that the plant recognizes through its defense system Finally we have a bean pathogen mutant that does not cause HR on tobacco, and this is because the mechanism by which it delivers proteins into the plant cell is not functional dues to a mutation, hrcC, in the delivery apparatus. The plant does not recognize this bacteria, and the bacteria cannot thrive in this environment becaseu it cannot put viruelnce proteins into the plant. The system that delivers proteins is encoded by genes in the hrp/hrc cluster. -starting from the left: tabaci causes disease on tobacc; the plant does not recognize the pathogen until it is too late. -Pseduomonas syrngae can cause two types of reactions on plants: a hypersensitive response (HR) or disease -in the HR, the plant immediately recognizes the pathogen, and induces a. --secretion mutant cannot cause HR -Red is autofluorescnence of chlorplasts -P the bacteria is huge!!
