Stagonosporopsis cucurbitacearum Effector Protein ScAA9 Contributes to Virulence and Triggers Plant Immune Responses

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 3, March 2026.
The AA9 family protein ScAA9 of Stagonosporopsis cucurbitacearum plays dual roles as both a virulence factor for infection and a PAMP for host immune manipulation, highlighting the complexity of S. cucurbitacearum–host interactions. ABSTRACT Fungal pathogens secrete cell wall‐degrading enzymes that either act as virulence factors or are perceived by ...

Uncovering Convergent Pattern Recognition Receptors Recognising Phytophthora Across Plant Lineages

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 3, Page 1098-1109, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) are pivotal for plant immunity, yet their discovery in crops is hindered by lineage‐specific divergence. We demonstrate that microbe‐associated molecular patterns (MAMPs) often activate immunity through phylogenetically unrelated, convergently evolved PRRs across plant lineages.

An Ustilaginoidea virens Nuclear Effector SCRE7 Inhibits Rice Immunity via Suppressing OsLBD11/12‐Promoted Transcription of OsCPS2

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 3, Page 1305-1321, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Phytopathogenic fungi secrete a great number of effector proteins into various organelles of host plants and suppress plant immunity through different mechanisms. In this study, we identify SCRE7 as a unique nuclear effector that is essential for U. virens infection.

An Integrated BAC and Genome Sequence Physical Map of Phytophthora sojae

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2006
Phytophthora spp. are serious pathogens that threaten numerous cultivated crops, trees, and natural vegetation worldwide. The soybean pathogen P. sojae has been developed as a model oomycete. Here, we report a bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC)-based,

Dual‐Role GH7 Family Proteins From Verticillium dahliae Function as Virulence Factors and Intracellular Effectors Triggering NLR‐Mediated Immunity

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 3, Page 1491-1504, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Cell wall–degrading enzymes are viewed as extracellular virulence factors. However, their potential to act as immune elicitors and interact with intracellular immune receptors remains poorly defined. Here, we demonstrate that six conserved glycoside hydrolase 7 (GH7) family proteins from the fungal pathogen Verticillium dahliae have dual roles

The Repertoire of Transfer RNA Genes Is Tuned to Codon Usage Bias in the Genomes of Phytophthora sojae and Phytophthora ramorum

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2006
In all, 238 and 155 transfer (t)RNA genes were predicted from the genomes of Phytophthora sojae and P. ramorum, respectively. After omitting pseudogenes and undetermined types of tRNA genes, there remained 208 P. sojae tRNA genes and 140 P.

Metabolomic Analysis of Phytophthora parasitica Growth in the Presence of β‐sitosterol Indicates Adaptive Mechanisms Modulated by Sterols

Journal of Basic Microbiology, Volume 66, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Phytophthora parasitica is a generalist phytopathogenic oomycete that infects a series of crops with great economic interest, including tomato, tobacco, and citrus species. Sterols are essential lipids in eukaryotic organisms, playing a fundamental role in the structure and function of the cell membrane.

Metabolomics Analysis of Soybean Hypocotyls in Response to Phytophthora sojae Infection

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018
Soybean is one of the most important economic and oil crops across the world. Phytophthora root rot (PRR), caused by Phytophthora sojae (P. sojae), is a major disease in most soybean-growing regions worldwide.

Enzymatic oxidation of galacturonides from pectin breakdown contributes to stealth infection by Oomycota phytopathogens

Nature Communications
Phytophthora phytopathogens from Oomycota cause devastating crop losses and threaten food security. However, Phytophthora secreted proteins that interact with plant-hosts remain underexplored.
