Phytophthora sojae is an oomycete that causes stem and root rot disease in soybean. P.
sojae delivers many RxLR effector proteins, including Avr1b, into host cells to promote …

Microbial pathogens of both plants and animals employ virulence factors that suppress the
host immune response. The tomato pathogen Pseudomonas syringae injects the AvrPtoB …

The avrPto avirulence gene from Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato (Pst) race 0 governs
race-specific resistance to bacterial speck disease in tomato cultivars containing the Pto …

AvrPto was introduced into three tomato genotypes with two biotic agents to study its role in
compatible interactions. avrPto enhanced the capacity of the Pseudomonas syringae pv …

The major virulence strategy of phytopathogenic bacteria is to secrete effector proteins into
the host cell to target the immune machinery. AvrPto and AvrPtoB are two such effectors from …

The Pto gene of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) confers specific recognition of the unrelated
bacterial effector proteins AvrPto and AvrPtoB. Pto resides in a constitutive molecular …

Resistance in tomato to Pseudomonas syringae pv tomato (avrPto) is conferred by the gene
Pto in a gene‐for‐gene relationship. A hypersensitive disease resistance response (HR) is …

Pseudomonas syringae uses a type III secretion system to deliver a large number of effector
proteins into the plant cell where they suppress plant immune responses and promote …

The γ-proteobacterial plant pathogen Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato DC3000 uses the
type III secretion system to inject ca. 28 Avr/Hop effector proteins into plants, which enables …

Phytophthora sojae is an oomycete and a pathogen of soybean that causes root rot. During
infection P. sojae delivers effector proteins into host cells to foster disease. However, effector …
