Fungi and oomycetes include deep and diverse lineages of eukaryotic plant pathogens. The
last 10 years have seen the sequencing of the genomes of a multitude of species of these so …

Live-cell imaging assisted by fluorescent markers has been fundamental to understanding
the focused secretory'warfare'that occurs between plants and biotrophic pathogens that feed …

Pathogens secrete effector proteins and many operate inside plant cells to enable infection.
Some effectors have been found to enter subcellular compartments by mimicking host …

Salicylic acid (SA) is an important phytohormone that plays a vital role in a number of
physiological responses, including plant defense. The last two decades have witnessed a …

While conceptual principles governing plant immunity are becoming clear, its systems-level
organization and the evolutionary dynamic of the host-pathogen interface are still obscure …

Plant hormones are essential regulators of plant growth and immunity. In the last few
decades, a vast amount of information has been obtained detailing the role of different plant …

Many signalling proteins permanently or transiently localize to specific organelles. It is well
established that certain lipids act as biochemical landmarks to specify compartment identity …

The potato late blight pathogen Phytophthora infestans secretes an array of effector proteins
thought to act in its hosts by disarming defences and promoting pathogen colonisation …

Plant pathogenic oomycetes secrete a diverse repertoire of effector proteins that modulate
host innate immunity and enable parasitic infection. Understanding how effectors evolve …

Plants are continually exposed to pathogen attack but usually remain healthy because they
can activate defences upon perception of microbes. However, pathogens have evolved to …
