This project investigates the mechanisms by which the late blight pathogen Phytophthora infestans alters plant defenses, particularly through its effector protein AvrBlb2. By identifying plant targets and understanding their interactions, the research aims to enhance disease resistance in crops like potatoes and tomato…
The late blight pathogen Phytophthora infestans is a major threat for potato and tomato crops.
It was responsible for the Irish Potato Famine in the mid 1840’s and continues to cause dramatic losses nowadays.
This oomycete spreads rapidly and shows remarkable adaptability in overcoming plant defenses.
To establish its biotrophic life style, P. infestans secretes proteins called effectors that function in the apoplast or in the cytoplasm of the plant cell.
AvrBlb2 belongs to the RxLR class of P.…
