An effector of the Irish potato famine pathogen antagonizes a host autophagy cargo receptor [PDF]
, 2016 Plants use autophagy to safeguard against infectious diseases. However, how plant pathogens interfere with autophagy-related processes is unknown. Here, we show that PexRD54, an effector from the Irish potato famine pathogen Phytophthora infestans, binds
