Bacterial Glycosyrins Manipulate Plant Glycobiology Through A Novel Mechanism
The plant apoplast is a key battlefield during microbial infection. To avoid plant recognition, the model plant pathogen Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato DC3000 secretes glycosyrins. These compounds inhibit the activity of the plant-secreted β-galactosidase BGAL1, thereby suppressing plant defense responses triggered by flagellin fragments. On April 17, 2025, a research paper titled "Bacterial pathogen deploys the iminosugar […]
