Plants possess large arsenals of immune receptors capable of recognizing all pathogen
classes. To cause disease, pathogenic organisms must be able to overcome physical …

The ability to secrete effector proteins that can enter plant cells and manipulate host
processes is a key determinant of what makes a successful plant pathogen. Here, we review …

Green pepper is regarded as one of the globally essential commercial crops with bright color
and rich nutrition. However, green pepper is susceptible to mechanical injuries as a result of …

Nuclear effector proteins released by bacteria, oomycete, nematode, and fungi burden the
global environment and crop yield. Microbial effectors are key weapons in the evolutionary …

The TCP gene family encodes plant-specific transcription factors involved in growth and
development. Equally important are the interactions between TCP factors and other …

Oomycete phytopathogens have adapted to colonise plants using effectors as their
molecular weapons. Intracellular effectors, mostly proteins but also small ribonucleic acids …

Oomycete pathogens secrete hundreds of cytoplasmic RxLR effectors to modulate host
immunity by targeting diverse plant proteins. Revealing how effectors manipulate host …
