• Pseudomonas syringae type III effectors are known to suppress plant immunity to promote bacterial virulence. However, the activities and targets of these effectors are not well understood. • We used genetic, molecular, and cell biology methods to characterize the activities, localization, and target of the HopD1 type III effector in Arabidopsis. • HopD1 contributes to P. syringae virulence in...

An immune response is triggered in host cells when host receptors recognize conserved molecular motifs, pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs), such as βglucans, and chitin at the cell surface of a pathogen. Effectortriggered immunity occurs when pathogens deliver effectors into the host cell to suppress the first immune signaling. Using a differential proteomic approach, we identified ...

Immunity is a term closely affiliated with the normal being of an organism as it puts across cascade physiological facets that contributes affirmatively towards knocking down invaded pathogen. It widely known and accepted fact cells associated immune system serve driving force in eliminating disease causing agent plants are not exempted from this mechanism but approach counteracting pathogenic ...
