Investigating the biosynthesis and roles of the auxin phenylacetic acid during Pseudomonas syringae-Arabidopsis thaliana pathogenesis

C.-Y. Lee, C. P. Harper, S. G. Lee, Y. Qi, T. Clay, Y. Aoi, J. M. Jez, H. Kasahara, J. A. V. Blodgett, B. N. Kunkel

This study investigates the role of phenylacetic acid (PAA) produced by Pseudomonas syringae during infection of Arabidopsis thaliana, showing that PAA/IAA homeostasis affects plant-microbial interactions.
