An effector of ‘ Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus’ manipulates autophagy to promote bacterial infection
11 May 2023
Abstract excerpt
Autophagy functions in plant host immunity responses to pathogen infection. The molecular mechanisms and functions used by the citrus Huanglongbing (HLB)-associated intracellular bacterium 'Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus' (CLas) to manipulate autophagy are unknown. We identified a CLas effector, SDE4405 (CLIBASIA_04405), which contributes to HLB progression. 'Wanjincheng' orange (Citrus sinensis) transgenic...
