Phaseolotoxin is an antimetabolite toxin produced by diverse pathovars of Pseudomonas syringae which affects various plants, causing diseases of economic importance. Phaseolotoxin contributes to the systemic dissemination of the pathogen in the plant, therefore it is recognized as a major virulence...
