A Conserved Magnaporthe oryzae Effector Counteracts the Rice Ubiquitin‐Proteasome System by Disrupting the E2 Function to Suppress Immunity

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 6, Page 4302-4316, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Pathogens commonly secrete effectors into host cells to facilitate invasion. In the host ubiquitin‐proteasome system (UPS), E3 ubiquitin ligases often target pathogen effectors for degradation, thereby enhancing immune responses. In turn, pathogen effectors frequently disrupt E3 ligase function to promote virulence. However, it remains largely

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.

How to frustrate a plant pathogen

The Plant Journal, Volume 126, Issue 5, June 2026.
SUMMARY Sequence‐unrelated but structurally similar (SUSS) effector families represent a distinctive evolutionary strategy among plant pathogen virulence proteins. Within families such as MAX, LARS and RALPH effectors, individual proteins maintain nearly identical three‐dimensional folds despite minimal sequence identities, whilst targeting ...

Pathogen‐Induced Shifts in Alternative Splicing Shaping Plant Defense

Food and Energy Security, Volume 15, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
ABSTRACT Plant immune responses comprise a highly coordinated and dynamic defense network that enables the recognition and containment of diverse microbial pathogens. Alternative splicing (AS), a critical post‐transcriptional regulatory mechanism that generates multiple mRNA isoforms from a single pre‐mRNA precursor, substantially enhances proteomic ...

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.

Overexpression of GmHIR1 in Soybean Enhances Phytophthora sojae Resistance

Plants
Phytophthora root rot is a major disease that reduces soybean yield and quality. The role of hypersensitive-induced response (HIR) proteins in soybean resistance to Phytophthora sojae (P. sojae) remains unclear.

GmSnRK1.1, a Sucrose Non-fermenting-1(SNF1)-Related Protein Kinase, Promotes Soybean Resistance to Phytophthora sojae

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019
Phytophthora root and stem rot, a destructive disease of soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.], is caused by the oomycete Phytophthora sojae. However, how the disease resistance mechanisms of soybean respond to P. sojae infection remains unclear.

SNP markers associated with soybean partial resistance to Phytophthora sojae

Crop Breeding and Applied Biotechnology, 2019
Phytophthora root and stem rot is one of the most aggressive diseases in soybean crop. The use of resistant cultivars is the main strategy to reduce losses caused by the pathogen. This study aims to identify SNP markers associated with genes or QTLs that
