Temporal and spatial resolution of activated plant defense responses in leaves of Nicotiana benthamiana infected with Dickeya dadantii

The necrotrophic bacteria Dickeya dadantii is the causal agent of soft-rot disease in a broad range of hosts.The model plant Nicotiana benthamiana, commonly used as experimental host for a very broad range of plant pathogens, is susceptible to infection by D.dadantii.The inoculation with D.dadantii at high dose seems to overcome the plant defense c
