Selective autophagy is a conserved homeostatic pathway that involves engulfment of
specific cargo molecules into specialized organelles called autophagosomes. The ubiquitin-like …

A diversity of plant-associated organisms secrete effectors—proteins and metabolites that
modulate plant physiology to favor host infection and colonization. However, effectors can also …

Accelerated adaptive evolution is a hallmark of plant–pathogen interactions. Plant
intracellular immune receptors (NLRs) often occur as allelic series with differential pathogen …

… The wild-type Pikp-HMA, Pikm-HMA, and AVR-Pik expression constructs used in this study
