Specific selection on XEG1 and XLP1 genes correlates with host range and adaptability in Phytophthora

This study identifies lineage-specific XEG1/XLP1 gene pair in the genus Phytophthora, revealing that selective pressure on these genes drives functional differentiation. This selection is closely linked to the host range and adaptability of Phytophthora species.

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

Fungal and Oomycota pathogens of plants threaten food security. Here, Turella et al show that Phytophthora plant pathogens can oxidate oligogalacturonides to overcome plant immunity by blocking sensing of pectin degradation.

Complete telomere-to-telomere genomes uncover virulence evolution conferred by chromosome fusion in oomycete plant pathogens

Frequent chromosome fusion and fission in oomycetes drive changes in chromosome number. Here, Zhang et al show that these dynamics facilitate the adaptive evolution of genes related to pathogenicity.

Divergent sequences of tetraspanins enable plants to specifically recognize microbe-derived extracellular vesicles

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are important in plant-microbe interactions. Here we show that the divergent sequences within tetraspanins localized at EV membranes enable plant innate immune system to distinguish between self and non-self EVs.

An oomycete plant pathogen reprograms host pre-mRNA splicing to subvert immunity

Various effectors of plant pathogens modulate host cell biology. Here, Huang et al. show PsAvr3c, an avirulence effector from oomycete plant pathogen Phytophthora sojae, can reprogram host pre-mRNA splicing for immune modulation.

A Phytophthora sojae effector suppresses endoplasmic reticulum stress-mediated immunity by stabilizing plant Binding immunoglobulin Proteins

Phytophthora pathogens manipulate host plant immune responses by secreting effector proteins into plant cells. Here, Jing et al. show that the Phytophthora sojaeAvh262 effector negatively regulates plant resistance by binding to host BiP proteins and suppressing ER-stress induced cell death

Leucine-rich repeat receptor-like gene screen reveals that Nicotiana RXEG1 regulates glycoside hydrolase 12 MAMP detection

The role of most plant leucine-rich repeat (LRR) receptors in innate immunity is unknown. Here, the authors develop virus-based constructs to silence LRR receptor-like genes in the Nicotiana benthamiana genome and identify Response to XEG1 that specifically recognizes the glycoside hydrolase 12 protein XEG1.
