Genome sequence and analysis of the Irish potato famine pathogen Phytophthora infestans.

Brian J. Haas, +102 more
- 17 Sep 2009 - 
TL;DR: The sequence of the P. infestans genome is reported, which at ∼240 megabases (Mb) is by far the largest and most complex genome sequenced so far in the chromalveolates and probably plays a crucial part in the rapid adaptability of the pathogen to host plants and underpins its evolutionary potential.
Journal ArticleDOI

The C-terminal half of Phytophthora infestans RXLR effector AVR3a is sufficient to trigger R3a-mediated hypersensitivity and suppress INF1-induced cell death in Nicotiana benthamiana

TL;DR: Structural-function experiments indicated that the 75-amino acid C-terminal half of AVR3aKI, which excludes the RXLR region, is sufficient for avirulence and suppression functions, consistent with the view that the N- terminal region of A VR3AKI and other RXLR effectors is involved in secretion and targeting but is not required for effector activity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Systemic Modulation of Gene Expression in Tomato by Trichoderma hamatum 382

TL;DR: This work showed that T. hamatum 382 actively induces systemic changes in plant physiology and disease resistance through systemic modulation of the expression of stress and metabolism genes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Synergistic Interactions of the Plant Cell Death Pathways Induced by Phytophthora infestans Nep1-Like Protein PiNPP1.1 and INF1 Elicitin

TL;DR: Using agroinfection with a binary Potato virus X vector, it is shown that PiNPP1.1 induces cell death in Nicotiana benthamiana and the host plant tomato, suggesting synergistic interplay between the two cell-death responses.
