This project investigates how specific molecules secreted by the downy mildew pathogen affect plant immunity. By analyzing ten selected oomycete effectors, the research aims to understand their roles in virulence and identify their targets within host cells, contributing to our knowledge of plant defense mechanisms.
Plant-associated organisms secrete molecules to attenuate plant defence signalling and enable colonization of plant tissue.
In contrast to bacterial plant pathogens, only a few oomycete effectors have been characterized.
Many oomycete effectors carry a signal peptide and RxLR motif, and act inside host cells to suppress immunity.
However, the mechanisms by which these effectors act remain to be elucidated.
