Mutations in PpAGO3 Lead to Enhanced Virulence of Phytophthora parasitica by Activation of 25–26 nt sRNA-Associated Effector Genes

Oomycetes represent a unique group of plant pathogens that are destructive to a wide range of crops and natural ecosystems. Phytophthora species possess active small RNA (sRNA) silencing pathways, but little is known about the biological roles of sRNAs and associated factors in pathogenicity. Here w...
