Identification of organelle-targeting Phytophthora effectors and their host plant targets to pinpoint novel strategies for improving disease resistance Ghent University
Phytophthora species are notorious phytopathogens that reduce crop yield and also affect our ecosystems. To obtain specific and sustainable solutions for plant protection, we need a better understanding of the molecular interactions between plants and pathogens. Intracellular organelles such as chloroplasts and mitochondria play a central role in plant immunity and it is becoming clear that they are important targets of pathogens. Increasing ...
