Article Synopsis
  • Bacterial wilt, a serious disease caused by a major phytopathogen, leads to significant losses in crop yields, largely due to the ability of the pathogen's Type III effectors (T3Es) to disrupt plant immune responses.
  • The study focused on the novel T3E, RipAW, demonstrating its role in suppressing plant immunity by targeting key immune receptor proteins (FLS2, XLG2, BIK1) through a process of ubiquitination and degradation.
  • The findings reveal that RipAW weakens the plant's defense mechanisms, offering new perspectives on how the pathogen can enhance its virulence.
