Plants contain a sophisticated innate immune network to prevent pathogenic microbes from
gaining access to nutrients and from colonizing internal structures. The first layer of inducible …

This review comprises both well‐known and recently described P hytophthora species and
concentrates on P hytophthora–woody plant interactions. First, comprehensive data on …

Plant pathogens secrete an arsenal of small secreted proteins (SSPs) acting as effectors that
modulate host immunity to facilitate infection. SSP-encoding genes are often located in …

Plant innate immunity is a potential basal defense system existing in plant kingdom. This
system provides powerful weapons to the host plants to fight against viral, bacterial, fungal …

Background Phytophthora cactorum, a hemibiotrophic oomycete pathogen, can cause
destructive diseases on numerous crops worldwide, leading to essential economic losses …

Late blight, caused by Phytophthora infestans (Mont.) de Bary, is the most historically
significant and economically destructive disease of potatoes (Solanum tuberosum L.). In …

Effectoromics, a high-throughput functional genomics approach that uses effectors to probe
plant germplasm to detect R genes, has proven a potent contribution to modern resistance …

The oomycete Phytophthora infestans, causal agent of the tomato and potato late blight,
