Abstract excerpt
With the increasing availability of plant pathogen genomes, secreted proteins that aid infection (effectors) have emerged as key factors that help to govern plant-microbe interactions. The conserved CRN (CRinkling and Necrosis) effector family was first described in oomycetes by their capacity to induce host cell death. Despite recent advances towards the elucidation of CRN virulence functions, the relevance of...
