The natural diversity of pathogen effectors and host immune components represents a
snapshot of the underlying evolutionary processes driving the host-pathogen arms race. In …

Efficient plant immune responses depend on the ability to recognise an invading microbe.
The 22-amino acids in the N-terminal domain and the 28-amino acids in the central region of …

Plants prevent disease by passively and actively protecting potential entry routes against
invading microbes. For example, the plant immune system actively guards roots, wounds …

Pathogenic Xanthomonas bacteria cause disease on more than 400 plant species. These
Gram-negative bacteria utilize the type III secretion system to inject type III effector proteins …

Summary Type‐3 effectors (T3E) of phytopathogenic Gram‐negative bacteria fulfill a virulent
role, causing disease, or an avirulent role, inducing immunity, following their translocation …

Molecular mechanisms underlying quantitative variations of pathogenicity remain elusive.
Here, we identified the Xanthomonas campestris XopJ6 effector that triggers disease …

Xanthomonas campestris pathovar campestris (Xcc) is a significant phytopathogen causing
black rot disease in crucifers. Xcc injects a variety of type III effectors (T3Es) into the host cell …

Bacterial wilt caused by strains of the Ralstonia solanacearum species complex is a severe
disease affecting plants. The type III secretion system delivers type III effectors (T3Es) from …

由核盘菌(Sclerotinia sclerotiorum) 引起的菌核病是油菜等十字花科作物的重要病害,
对油菜的产量品质造成严重影响. 本研究基于转录组数据筛选到一个核盘菌基因Ss160 …

The Sclerotinia disease, caused by the Sclerotinia sclerotiorum fungi, is an important
disease in most of cruciferous plants including Brassica napus. The disease has a serious …
