Date issued/created: Subject and Keywords: Abstract:The enterobacterium Envinia causes soft rot disease in various plants. Erwinia pathogenicityresults from the secretion of pectinolytic and cellulolytic enzymes responsible for the deteriorationof the plant cell wall. It produces pectin methylesterases, several pectate lyases, polygalacturonase, pectin lyase, cellulases and hemicellulase. Regulation of pectinases genes requires severalregulatory systems. Deletion of the major pectate lyase genes from Erwinia genome failed tototally eliminate tissue maceration. Structural genes for secondary pectate lyase were clonedand sequenced. The important role of the secondary pelL gene in the development of infectionwas demonstrated.
