Plant pathogens pose a serious and continuous threat to global agricultural production and food security (Varden et al., 2017). Pathogens, including bacteria, fungi, oomycetes, viruses, nematodes, as well as feeding insects, subvert key host processes by suppressing host innate immunity and manipulating host nutrient supply, leading to disease. In most cases, pathogens achieve this goal by delivering virulence effector proteins into host cells, where the effectors attack the host innate immune system through various
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
