An understanding of the cell biology underlying the burgeoning molecular genetic and
genomic knowledge of oomycete pathogenicity is essential to gain the full context of how …

The oomycete Phytophthora infestans is a damaging crop pathogen and a model organism
to study plant-pathogen interactions. We report the discovery of a family of copper …

The oomycetes are a class of ubiquitous, filamentous microorganisms that include some of
the biggest threats to global food security and natural ecosystems. Within the oomycete …

Filamentous (oomycete and fungal) plant pathogens deliver cytoplasmic effector proteins
into host cells to facilitate disease. How RXLR effectors from the potato late blight pathogen …

Plants employ sensor–helper pairs of NLR immune receptors to recognize pathogen
effectors and activate immune responses. Yet, the subcellular localization of NLRs pre-and …

In most ecosystems, plants establish complex symbiotic relationships with organisms, such
as bacteria and fungi, which significantly influence their health by promoting or inhibiting …

Oomycete pathogens secrete hundreds of cytoplasmic RxLR effectors to modulate host
immunity by targeting diverse plant proteins. Revealing how effectors manipulate host …

Phytophthora palmivora (Butler) is an hemibiotrophic oomycete capable of infecting over
200 plant species including one of the most economically important crops, Theobroma …

Both pathogenic and symbiotic microorganisms modulate the immune response and
physiology of their host to establish a suitable niche. Key players in mediating colonization …

Vesicle trafficking is an essential cellular process upon which many physiological processes
of eukaryotic cells rely. It is usually the 'language'of communication among the components …
