A Systematic Identification of Pan-Genome Effector Families Responsible for Inducing Plant Immunity
Plant pathogens represent a major threat to global ecosystems and the agricultural industry. Similar to all microbial niches, plant pathogens must adapt to their environment, including navigating the geographical range and immune defense of their host (Jones & Dangl, 2006). Characterizing the mechanisms underlying host-pathogen interactions are crucial for the development of engineered, broadly resistant crops.
