SUMMARY The hxc1 mutant was identified by screening an EMS (ethylmethane sulphonate) mutagenized population of Arabidopsis Col-0 plants for an altered hypersensitive response (HR), after spray inoculation with an HR-inducing isolate of Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris (Xcc) (strain 147). The hxc1 mutant shows a susceptible phenotype several days after initiation of the interaction with the avirulent strain.

Three classes of mutant were identified: those exhibiting an HR- phenotype or partial loss of HR; hyper-responsive mutants showing necrotic lesions rapidly leading to the collapse of leaves; and susceptible mutants.
