Dual functions of a novel effector in the plant and pathogen arms race
Abstract Ralstonia solanacearum is a soil-borne bacterium that causes bacterial wilt disease in over 250 plant species. It has been identified as one of the top ten most serious plant pathogenic bacteria globally, causing significant crop yield loss every year. Despite its large impact on agricultur...

| description | Abstract Ralstonia solanacearum is a soil-borne bacterium that causes bacterial wilt disease in over 250 plant species. It has been identified as one of the top ten most serious plant pathogenic bacteria globally, causing significant crop yield loss every year. Despite its large impact on agricultural economics, the molecular mechanisms underlying plant defense against Ralstonia infection and by which Ralstonia grows within the plant xylem remain largely unexplored. In a recent article, Ke et al. discovered a distinct pathogen effector, which acted as an immune elicitor in plants but also played dual roles in compromising plant immune activation and increasing nutrient acquisition from the host plants for pathogen propagation. |
