Description

Soohyun Oh and five co-authors study how some plants spot a broad family of crop pathogens, in a research paper from 2024. The pathogens, called Phytophthora, attack many plants. They share families of proteins, called effectors, that they inject into plant cells.

The team tested sixty-nine effectors from six pathogen species against immune receptors in nightshade plants. About three in five were caught by receptors, grouped by effector family. Three receptors each gave broad protection against several species. The authors say matching shared effector families is a fast way to find useful resistance genes for other crops facing similar threats.
