AbstractBacterial wilt caused by Ralstonia solanacearum is a devastating plant disease. Exopolysaccharide (EPS), a major virulence factor of R. solanacearum, elicits pattern-triggered immunity (PTI) in tomato, but the means by which EPS is recognized in the plant remain poorly understood. We found that tomato non-arginine-aspartate (non-RD) receptor kinase SlLYK4 mediates the perception of R. solanacearum EPS and positively regulates resistance to bacterial wilt.
