Pseudomonas syringae is one of the most common plant pathogens that infect the
phyllosphere. P. syringae can live on the plant surface as an epiphyte. To cause disease, it …

In nature, plants constantly have to face pathogen attacks. However, plant disease rarely
occurs due to efficient immune systems possessed by the host plants. Pathogens are …

Since the early 1980s, various strains of the gram-negative bacterial pathogen
Pseudomonas syringae have been used as models for understanding plant-bacterial …

Pathogenicity of most Gram-negative plant-pathogenic bacteria depends on the type III
secretion (T3S) system, which translocates bacterial effector proteins into plant cells. Type III …

Plants have evolved a large number of cell surface-resident receptor-like kinases (RLKs)
and receptor-like proteins (RLPs), many of which are implicated in sensing extrinsic and …

Every plant is closely associated with a variety of living organisms. Therefore, deciphering
how plants interact with mutualistic and parasitic organisms is essential for a comprehensive …

Highlights•Type-III effectors (T3Es) suppress plant immunity using multiple strategies.•PRR-
triggered immunity is redundantly targeted by multiple T3Es from a single bacterial strain.•A …

To suppress plant defense responses and favor the establishment of disease,
phytopathogenic bacteria have gained the ability to deliver effector molecules inside host …

Network robustness is a crucial property of the plant immune signaling network because
pathogens are under a strong selection pressure to perturb plant network components to …

Microbial pathogens have evolved protein effectors to promote virulence and cause disease
in host plants. Pathogen effectors delivered into plant cells suppress plant immune …
