The Biological Roles of Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici Effectors during Infection of Wheat
Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici (Pst) is the causative agent of wheat stripe rust, which can lead to a significant loss in annual wheat yields. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a deeper comprehension of the basic mechanisms underlying Pst ...

Strains of Erwinia tracheiphila, causal agent of bacterial wilt of cucurbits, are divided into distinct clades. Et-melo clade strains wilt Cucumis spp. but not Cucurbita spp., thus exhibiting host specificity, whereas Et-C1 clade strains wilt Cucurbita ...

Structure of the activated ROQ1 resistosome directly recognizing the pathogen effector XopQ
Tetrameric immune receptors Nucleotide-binding/leucine-rich repeat (NLR) immune receptors detect pathogen effectors and trigger a plant's immune response. Two groups have now defined the structures of two NLRs that carry Toll-like interleukin-1 receptor (

FIRE Mimics a 14-3-3–Binding Motif to Promote Phytophthora palmivora Infection
The oomycete Phytophthora palmivora infects a wide range of tropical crops worldwide. Like other filamentous plant pathogens, it secretes effectors to colonize plant tissues.

IgG Subclasses and Allotypes: From Structure to Effector Functions
Of the five immunoglobulin isotypes, immunoglobulin G (IgG) is most abundant in human serum. The four subclasses, IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, and IgG4, which are highly conserved, differ in their constant region, particularly in their hinges and upper CH2 domains.

Understanding how fungi specialize on their plant host is crucial for developing sustainable disease control. A traditional, centuries-old rice agro-system of the Yuanyang terraces was used as a model to show that virulence effectors of the rice blast ...
