Successful infection of the host requires secretion of effector proteins to evade or suppress plant immunity. Secretion of effectors in root-infecting fungal pathogens, however, remains unexplored. We
Since we reasoned that RiNLE1 exerts its functions inside host nuclei, we explored the influence of RiNLE1 on plant gene expression. Therefore, we applied a dexamethasone (DEX) inducible promoter syst
The root-knot nematode (RKN) Meloidogyne chitwoodi is a threat for potato production in the western United States (U.S.), negatively impacting potato yield and product value. Meloidogyne chitwoodi pro
The intracellular parasite Toxoplasma gondii uses a diverse repertoire of effector molecules to manipulate its host cell. The first effectors to be introduced into the host cell derive from rhoptries
