Translocation of RxLR effectors from the oomycete Phytophthora infestans into the host cell

Many oomycetes, such as the notorious potato late blight pathogen Phytophthora infestans, have devastating effects on crops. Recent findings have implied that eukaryotic plant pathogens deliver effector proteins inside host cells to facilitate colonization by modulating plant defences. Although the...
