The LOV protein of Xanthomonas citri subsp. citri plays a significant role in the counteraction of plant immune responses during citrus canker.
Pathogens interaction with a host plant starts a set of immune responses that result in complex changes in gene expression and plant physiology.Light is an important modulator of plant defense response and recent studies have evidenced the novel influence of this environmental stimulus in the virulence of several bacterial pathogens.Xanthomonas cit
