Populus trichocarpa encodes small, effector-like secreted proteins that are highly induced during mutualistic symbiosis

Abstract During symbiosis, organisms use a range of metabolic and protein-based signals to communicate. Of these protein signals, one class is defined as ‘effectors’, i.e., small secreted proteins (SSPs) that cause phenotypical and physiological changes in another organism. To date, protein-based ef...
