A Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici secreted protein activates plant immunity at the cell surface

Abstract Pathogens secrete effector proteins to suppress host immunity, mediate nutrient uptake and subsequently enable parasitism. However, on non-adapted hosts, effectors can be detected as non-self by host immune receptors and activate non-host immunity. Nevertheless, the molecular mechanisms of...
