Molecular interactions between aphids and plants include delivery of salivary effector proteins into host cells, acting as virulence factors to suppress host immunity or as avirulence functions triggering immune activation. However, understanding of virulence and avirulence mechanisms in aphid-plant systems is currently limited. Here, we report the discovery of an effector candidate family that is unique to...
