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
Stacks on tracks: the plant Golgi apparatus traffics on an actin/ER network†
TL;DR: The observations suggest that the leaf Golgi complex functions as a motile system of actin-directed stacks whose function is to pick up products from a relatively stationary ER system.
Journal ArticleDOI
A translocation signal for delivery of oomycete effector proteins into host plant cells

TL;DR: Functional analyses of two motifs, RXLR and EER, present in translocated oomycete effectors are reported, showing that RXLR-EER-encoding genes are transcriptionally upregulated during infection and 425 potential genes encoding secreted RXLR/EER class proteins in the P. infestans genome are identified.
Journal ArticleDOI
Simple, but Not Branched, Plasmodesmata Allow the Nonspecific Trafficking of Proteins in Developing Tobacco Leaves
Karl J. Oparka,Alison G. Roberts,Petra C. Boevink,Simon Santa Cruz,I. M. Roberts,Katja S. Pradel,Astrid Imlau,Guy Kotlizky,Norbert Sauer,Bernard L. Epel +9 more
TL;DR: The data demonstrate that nonspecific "macromolecular trafficking" is a general feature of simple plasmodesmata in sink leaves, contrary to dogma that plasmodemata have a size exclusion limit below 1 kDa.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phytophthora infestans effector AVR3a is essential for virulence and manipulates plant immunity by stabilizing host E3 ligase CMPG1.

Vetukuri,Brian Harrower,Christina Dixelius,Glenn J. Bryan,Ari Sadanandom,Stephen C. Whisson,Sophien Kamoun,Paul R. J. Birch +18 more
TL;DR: The data provide genetic evidence that AVR3a is an essential virulence factor that targets and stabilizes the plant E3 ligase CMPG1, potentially to prevent host cell death during the biotrophic phase of infection.
