flg22

Flg22 is a peptide consisting of 22 conserved amino acids at the N-terminus flaggelin of Pseudomonas syringae [Felix et al., 1999]. Flg22 is a well described Microbe Associated Molecular Pattern (MAMPs). If recognised, MAMPS trigger PAMP Triggered Immunity in plants. They have been shown to trigger disease resistance in plants. [Zipfel et al., 2004]. flg22 can be used to active an immune response in plants.

It is very hard to purify this peptide if recombinantly expressed in E. coli, due to the small size and the folding of this peptide.
