Summary Pathogens secret a plethora of effectors into the host cell to modulate plant immunity. Analysing role in altering function their target proteins will reveal critical components immune system. Here we show that Phytophthora infestans RXLR effector PITG20303, virulent variant AVRblb2 (PITG20300) escapes recognition by resistance protein Rpi‐blb2, suppresses PAMP‐triggered immunity (PTI) and promotes pathogen colonization targeting stabilizing potato MAPK cascade protein, StMKK1. Both...
A cascade formed by phosphorylation events of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) takes part in plant stress responses. However, the roles these MAPKs resistance potato (Solanum tuberosum) against Phytophthora pathogens is not well studied. Our previous work showed that a infestans RXLR effector targets and stabilizes negative regulator MAPK kinase 1 (StMKK1). Because Arabidopsis thaliana AtMPK4 downstream target AtMKK1, we performed phylogenetic analysis found StMPK4/6/7 are closely...
Phytophthora infestans causes severe losses in potato production. The MAPK kinase StMKK1 was previously found to negatively regulate immunity P. infestans. Our results showed that interacts with a protein tyrosine phosphatase, referred as StPTP1a, and directly phosphorylates StPTP1a at residues Ser-99, Tyr-223 Thr-290. is functional phosphatase the phosphorylation of these three enhances its stability catalytic activity. regulates represses SA-related gene expression. Furthermore, with,...
Abstract Protists, as integral constituents of the plant microbiome, are posited to confer substantial benefits health and performance. Despite their significance, protists have received considerably less attention compared other such bacteria fungi. To investigate diversity community structure in sorghum leaves roots, we employed amplicon sequencing eukaryotic 18S rRNA gene 563 leaf root samples collected from 57 locations across China. We found significant differences roots. The was...
