A Witches’ Broom Phytoplasma effector induces stunting by stabilizing a bHLH transcription factor in plants
2024-12-24
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Summary</h4> Phytoplasmas are specialized phloem-limited bacteria that cause diseases on various crops resulting in significant agricultural losses. This research focuses on the jujube Witches’ Broom (JWB) phytoplasma and investigates the host-manipulating activity of the effector SJP39. We found that SJP39 directly interacts with the plant transcription factor bHLH87 in the nuclei. SJP39 stabilizes the bHLH8...
