Fig. 3From: Contribution of the non-effector members of the HrpL regulon, iaaL and matE, to the virulence of Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato DC3000 in tomato plantsHrpL-dependent expression of the matE (P matE ) and iaaL (P iaaL ) promoters in P. syringae pv. tomato (Pto) DC3000. Growth curves of wild-type Pto DC3000 transformed with the empty vector pMP220 (white) or with a vector carrying the promoter fusions P matE ::`lacZ (a) or P iaaL ::`lacZ (b) (black). Bars show the β-galactosidase activity obtained from P matE ::`lacZ (a) or P iaaL ::`lacZ (b) during the growth of Pto DC3000 derivatives on minimal M9 medium.
