New Phytologist: Delivery of cytoplasmic and apoplastic effectors from Phytophthora infestans hau...
The potato blight pathogen Phytophthora infestans secretes effector proteins that are delivered inside (cytoplasmic) or can act outside (apoplastic) plant cells to neutralize host immunity. Little is known about how and where effectors are secreted during infection, yet such knowledge is essentia...
A root-knot nematode-secreted protein is injected into giant cells and targeted to the nuclei. Ne...
• Root-knot nematodes (RKNs) are obligate endoparasites that maintain a biotrophic relationship with their hosts over a period of several weeks and induce the differentiation of root cells into specialized feeding cells. Nematode effectors synthesized in the oesophageal glands and injected into t...
Metabolic priming by a secreted fungal effector. Nature (2011)
To localize Cmu1 during biotrophic growth, plants were infected with SG200Dcmu1-cmu1–HA, which carries a cmu1–HA fusion gene inserted in single copy under control of its native promoter. Plants infected with SG200 or with SG200 Pcmu1GFP–HA expressing cytoplasmic green fluorescent protein (GFP) un...
