The Phytophthora infestans Avirulence Gene Avr4 Encodes an RXLR-dEER Effector

Resistance in potato against the oomycete Phytophthora infestans is conditioned by resistance (R) genes that are introgressed from wild Solanum spp. into cultivated potato. According to the gene-for-gene model, proteins encoded by R genes recognize race-specific effectors resulting in a hypersensiti...
