The plant immune system perceives pathogens to trigger defense responses. In turn,
pathogens secrete effector molecules to subvert these defense responses. The initiation and …

Efficient plant immune responses depend on the ability to recognise an invading microbe.

Type III secretion systems (T3SSs) are bacterial membrane-embedded nanomachines
translocating effector proteins into the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells. They have been …

Some pathogenic or symbiotic Gram-negative bacteria can manipulate the ubiquitination
system of the eukaryotic host cell using a variety of strategies. Members of the genera …

Several specialised insects can manipulate normal plant development to induce a highly
organised structure known as a gall, which represents one of the most complex interactions …

The type VI secretion system (T6SS) encoded by Salmonella Pathogenicity Island 19 (SPI-

Gamma-proteobacteria is a class of gram-negative opportunistic pathogens existing in the
intestinal flora, often leading to diarrhea and intestinal infectious diseases, and plays an …

Plants host a large array of commensal bacteria that interact with the host. The growth of
