Phytopathogenic bacteria possess an arsenal of effector proteins that enable them to
subvert host recognition and manipulate the host to promote pathogen fitness. The type III …

The growing impact of phloem‐limited pathogens on high‐value crops has led to a renewed
interest in understanding how they cause disease. Although these pathogens cause …

Plants depend on innate immunity to prevent disease. Plant pathogenic bacteria, like
Pseudomonas syringae and Xanthomonas campestris, use the type III secretion system as a …

Plant aquaporins (AQPs) of the plasma membrane intrinsic protein (PIP) family face constant
risk of hijack by pathogens aiming to infect plants. PIPs can also be involved in plant …

Plants utilize intracellular nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat domain-containing
receptors (NLRs) to recognize pathogen effectors and induce a robust defense response …

Cotton bacterial blight (CBB), an important disease of (Gossypium hirsutum) in the early 20th
century, had been controlled by resistant germplasm for over half a century. Recently, CBB …

Phytopathogens pose a devastating threat to the productivity and yield of crops by causing
destructive plant diseases in natural and agricultural environments. Hemibiotrophic …

Examination of a collection of over 80,000 Plant Nod-like receptors (NLRs) revealed an
overwhelming sequence diversity underlying functional specificity of pathogen detection …

Plants are exposed to a plethora of microorganisms in their environment. A number of these
microorganisms are plant pathogens. In order to defend themselves against pathogen …

Pathogens secrete effector proteins into host cells to suppress host immunity and promote
pathogen virulence, although many features at the molecular interface of host–pathogen …
