The plant immune system is constituted of two functionally interdependent branches that
provide the plant with an effective defense against microbial pathogens. They can be …

Bacterial canker disease is a major limiting factor in the growing of cherry and other Prunus
species worldwide. At least five distinct clades within the bacterial species complex …

The bacterial pathogen Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato DC3000 suppresses the two-
tiered plant innate immune system by injecting a complex repertoire of type III secretion …

Chitosan oligosaccharide (COS) is an effective plant immunity elicitor; however, its induction
mechanism in plants is complex and needs further investigation. In this study, the …

The plant pathogen Pseudomonas syringae secretes multiple effectors that modulate plant
defenses. Some effectors trigger defenses due to specific recognition by plant immune …

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 …

Bacterial canker is a major disease of stone fruits and is a critical limiting factor to sweet
cherry (Prunus avium) production worldwide. One important strategy for disease control is …

The ubiquitin-26S proteasome degradation system (UPS) plays a pivotal role in almost all
aspects of plant life, including defending against pathogens. Although the proteasome is …

Pseudomonas syringae is well known as a model bacterial phytopathogen in the laboratory,
environment, and the field. A focus on understanding mechanisms of virulence in planta has …

HopH1 is an effector protein of Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato DC3000 and P. syringae
pv. syringae B728a and is a homolog of the putative Zn-dependent protease effector Rip36 …
